The Association of Clinical Pathologists was established in 1927, originally as the British Pathologists Association, and changed to its current name in 1930. The Association was established for four main reasons:
To improve the conditions of pathology practice and improve the status of clinical pathologists.
To secure clinical pathologists as being equal to other consultants
To encourage and assist medical schools and post-graduate education so that suitably trained doctors could assume charge of hospital laboratories throughout the United Kingdom.
To establish where members could exchange views on work, research etc.

The Wales Cancer Bank
www.walescancerbank.com/
The Wales Cancer Bank aims to collect samples of tumour, normal tissue and blood from all patients in Wales who are undergoing an operation to remove tissue where cancer is a possible diagnosis. These samples will be banked to build up a research resource that will be used by research groups to help understand the molecular mechanisms involved in cancer and work towards the selection of optimum targeted treatment for individuals.
