National Pathology Year

National Pathology Year

National Pathology Year 2012 is an exciting year long programme of public events organised by pathologists and scientists up and down the UK as well as overseas. Organised by the Royal College of Pathologists, NPY is a fantastic opportunity to develop relationships with schools, science centres, museums and the wider public in order to increase understanding of pathology this year and for many years to come. To give focus to the year and to provide inspiration, the College has developed a series of monthly themes:

New Year’s Resolutions
January - New Year’s Resolutions
Have you resolved to eat more healthily, cut down on your alcohol intake or take more exercise? Why not organise an event on the benefits of a healthier lifestyle?
 
Healthy Hearts
February - Love your Heart
Many pathology specialties have a link to heart health with a role in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of heart disease.
 
Mothers and Babies
March - Mothers and Babies
March's theme highlights the role of all the pathology specialties in keeping mothers and babies healthy, but also includes other issues relating to women's health.
 
Infectious Diseases
April - Parasites and Pathogens
Are you a pathologist or scientist working to identify, diagnose and treat infectious diseases? Why not organise an event to showcase the work that you do?
 
Healthy Lungs

This month's theme covers a wide range of pathology specialties, with issues like smoking, asthma, occupational lung disease, exercise and organ transplants.

To celebrate the Olympics we look at how pathology is involved with sports science, including how muscles develop, what makes an athlete and drugs testing.

With obesity, diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, superfoods and allergies there are a whole range of topics to inspire you to organise an event in September.
 
Cancer Screening
