  1. National Pathology Programme Board The National Pathology Programme Board (NPPB) reports to the NHS Wales Chief Executives’ Group. The NPPB membership includes Health Board and Trust Pathology Clinical Directors and Directorate Managers, the Welsh Government Scientific Adviser for Pathology and Genetics and representatives from, for example, NLIAH, Medical Directors, Directors of Primary Care, Workforce and OD, Planning and Finance. A new Programme Manager will be joining the National Pathology Programme early in 2013. The NPPB held a workshop in September 2012 to consider what benefits might be associated with a singly managed National Pathology Service for Wales. A paper was presented to the Chief Executives’ Forum in December 2012 and this will be further Discussed when the NPPB meets next on 11th January 2013 Another key date is 25th January 2013, when an inaugural meeting will take place to consider the establishment of an appropriate group to take forward South Wales Pathology Modernisation. National Pathology Operational Management Group (NPOMG) The NPOMG comprises Health Board and Trust Senior Pathology Operational Managers plus chairs of specific sub-groups. The NPOMG reports to the NPPB. The arrangement of sub-groups was recently reviewed to align with the NPOMG priorities for 2013. The former Pathology Quality Management Forum and HTA Designated Individuals’ Group have become an All Wales Pathology Governance / Assurance Group and the former POCT Coordinators Group has become the Non-Laboratory Pathology Group. A Workforce / Scientific Education & Training Group closely aligned to the Modernising Scientific Careers Implementation Programme has also been established and an IT & Informatics Group is proposed to complete the Structure reporting to the NPPB through the NPOMG. The opportunities in respect of Business Intelligence which the new All Wales LIMS provides will be a key workshop item when the NPOMG meets next on 16th January 2013. The existing All Wales groups are already well established and continue to network, benefiting from one another’s expertise and experience and developing shared resources to reduce duplication of effort. Shared resources can be found in the Pathology Community web pages at www.nliah.com/portal Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) The implementation phase of the project has commenced. Further information on the LIMS project and Wales Pathology Handbook is available at limstrakcare@nhswalescomms.org Key Diary Dates in January: 10th January LIMS Implementation Board and Change Advisory Board 11th January National Pathology Programme Board 14th January Biochemistry Specialist Tests Workshop 3 16th January National Pathology Operational Managers Group 18th January LSSC 25th January South Wales Pathology Modernisation Group inaugural meeting Pathology Programme NewsNo. 431st January 2013
