The Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia Quality Assurance Program (RCPAQAP) are committed to leading the discussion around risk and quality management in diagnostic pathology.

Previous workshops were in high demand and generated excellent feedback. We believe the RCPAQAP is filling a void for quality managers worldwide. In addition, RCPAQAP invites laboratory managers and senior scientists to this workshop.
