BAUP (British Association of Urological Pathologists) Macroscopy under the microscope

Macroscopy is a critical aspect of histopathology reporting that has generally received less attention than microscopy and is not uncommonly delegated to less experienced practitioners with limited guidance and supervision. A symposium discussing issues around macroscopic specimen examination was published in the March 2024 issue of the Journal of Clinical Pathology (2024;77:169-203). Based on this symposium, the British Association of Urological Pathologists (BAUP), the British Association of Gynaecological Pathologists (BAGP) and the Journal of Clinical Pathology are jointly organising a 2-day multi-speciality webinar.
