  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. The NPPB terms of reference were reviewed recently and approved by the NHS Wales Chief Executives’ Forum in June 2012. NPPB meeting papers are available on HOWIS at http://howis.wales.nhs.uk/pmuw The NPPB will meet next on 11th January 2013 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 is currently being reviewed to align with the NPOMG priorities for 2012 / 13. It is proposed that the current Pathology Quality Management Forum and HTA Designated Individuals’ Group become an All Wales Pathology Governance / Assurance Group and that the remit of the current POCT Coordinators Group is expanded to include all Non-Laboratory Pathology. A Workforce / Scientific Education & Training Group and an IT & Informatics Group are proposed to complete the structure reporting to the NPPB through the NPOMG. 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 NPOMG priorities for 2012 / 2013 include Service and Workforce Transformation across Wales in line with national guidance, delivered through: Development / Implementation of appropriate laboratory and clinical service models eg consolidation, POCT etc. Governance, quality and assurance – of people, systems and processes Workforce restructuring / remodelling – skill mix, clinical role development including (i) Training & Education – MSC to develop evidence based roles delivering defined clinical outcomes (ii) Development / R&D and innovation Standardisation / Integration (through national procurement where possible) of (i) Equipment (ii) IT – implementation and development of national systems (iii) Informatics (iv) Transport Financial management – information systems, evidence based tariffs, service line reporting Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) The implementation phase of the project has commenced.
