  1. National Pathology Programme Board (NPPB) The Welsh Labour Manifesto makes direct reference to Pathology, stating that Health Boards will be required to continue to work collaboratively to modernise Pathology services. National Pathology Programme Board Progress Reports to the NHS Wales Chief Executives’ Group will therefore also inform progress reports against delivery of the manifesto. The full NPPB 2011/12 work programme and meeting papers are available at http://howis.wales.nhs.uk/pmuw During 2012 / 2013, the NPPB will meet on: Friday 20th April 2012 Friday 13th July 2012 Friday 12th October 2012 Friday 11th January 2013 A number of very active All Wales groups continue to meet, benefitting from one another’s expertise and experience and developing shared resources to reduce duplication of effort. These include the Pathology Laboratory Managers, Quality Managers, POCT Coordinators, HTA Designated Individuals and Clinical Strategy Group supporting LIMS harmonisation. Shared resources can be found in the Pathology Commuinty web pages at www.nliah.com/portal Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) Configuration and User Acceptance Testing of the All Wales LIMS is well advanced with NWIS, Intersystems, the suppliers of Trak Care Lab, and Pathology colleagues working in close partnership. The new LIMS, implementation, which commences with Ysbyty Wrexham Maelor during April, provides exciting opportunities and scope to integrate services and do things in new ways for the benefit of patients throughout Wales. Please take every opportunity to participate in your local LIMS readiness project and help shape the future Pathology service in your organisation. The LIMS Implementation Board meets next on Thursday 8th March 2012. Further information on the LIMS project and Wales’ Pathology Handbook is available at http://howis.wales.nhs.uk/sitesplus/956/page/45075 Regional Pathology Collaborative Groups A number of projects mandated by regional Chief Executives’ groups are currently being undertaken by the Regional Pathology Collaborative Groups in South East, South West and North Wales led by the Clinical Directors and Directorate Managers of Health Boards and national services. The major driver for these is NHS Wales’ commitment to deliver high quality, equitable, sustainable Pathology services attracting and retaining excellent staff throughout Wales.
