December - A Year of Pathology
The final month of National Pathology Year will be devoted to summing up the achievements of the previous eleven months.
Why not hold an event that includes all of the themes, perhaps based on the National Pathology Year Quiz?
Or you could hold an event in your department to thank colleagues for their contributions to events thoughout the year. Whatever you decide, we hope that you'll be able to look back on an enjoyable and rewarding year of public engagement.
Resources
As part of National Pathology Year we have created a number of resources, including posters, flyers and handouts to help you organise events. You can also find advice and guidance on how to organise, promote and evaluate events.

A list of event template guides based on previous successful events. They cover everything from how to hold an event in a hospital foyer to holding an interactive science workshop with teenagers.
