Digital pathology services and AI – opportunity to have your say

Digital pathology and artificial intelligence (AI) have rapidly become key priorities in the health agenda, with the National Cancer Plan in England and wider UK-wide NHS policy signalling a clear shift from analogue to digital diagnostics.

The College is working to represent members effectively in this changing landscape, and to ensure that developments are reflected in the implementation of our workforce strategy. We are currently engaging in a range of workstreams for digital pathology and AI.

To enable the College to confidently advocate on behalf of the profession, we are seeking up‑to‑date, evidence-based picture of how digital pathology and AI are being used across services in 2026.

We know this is a busy time, and we greatly appreciate every response. Even brief input will help us present a strong, credible voice.

This RCPath consultation will remain open for a few weeks.

This exercise should only take 10 minutes.
