Scope of Practice
Assessment of Competency in the Scientific Workforce of the Pathology Laboratory
Pathology testing is a key medical service carried out at the request of doctors. Pathology laboratories are staffed by pathologists, clinical scientists, scientists, technicians, technical assistants and other support staff. The production of timely and accurate results for referred patients requires the collaborative efforts of all laboratory staff. The discussion document on the right hand side of this page seeks to describe the appropriate roles and duties and competencies expected of scientific and technical staff. ►►
The role that medically qualified pathologists play in supervising the cycle of patient care from test selection to reporting and interpreting results lies outside of the scope of this document.
