From the Editor

Welcome to the October Bulletin.

We are now well and truly into the autumn season. Party conferences have come and gone and attention has turned to how the NHS 10-Year Health Plan will be delivered. In this issue of the Bulletin, we continue our focus on the plan’s 3 shifts. This time, we explore pathology’s role in preventing disease. The accompanying theme introduction has an overview of our range of feature articles on prevention and screening, covering updates from many of our specialties.

This October edition of the Bulletin is dedicated primarily to the theme of prevention and screening, interpreted in its broadest sense. The issue explores the crucial and multifaceted contributions that pathology makes to preventative healthcare. By examining prevention from various perspectives, we aim to highlight how pathology underpins efforts to avert illness, promote public health and support early intervention strategies. The content within this edition underscores the indispensable part pathology plays in safeguarding health and shaping effective preventive measures.
