The Pathological Society has been in existence for almost a century with the objects of advancing pathology and allied sciences.
Membership is in no way geographically restricted and includes individuals from all five continents.
The elected committee actively pursues an outreach policy and in recent years has developed or strengthened links with like societies in other countries such as The Netherlands, Hungary and Japan. This is reflected in its meetings, its journals and its sponsorship of students both undergraduate and postgduate. Two major, international, peer reviewed journals are published monthly, the Journal of Pathology and the Journal of Medical Microbiology. The Society supports studentships for intercalated degrees, elective studies and occasional vacation projects. There are fellowships for members of the medical and allied professions to enable them to travel to other institutions to learn new techniques.
