Association of Breast Pathology

The objectives of the Association are to promote the study of the pathology of breast diseases, to advance the knowledge and practice of breast pathology and improve the accuracy and consistency of breast lesion diagnosis. It aims to be a major voice of breast pathology in the UK.

The association was founded in 2018 after Dr Rahul Deb conducted a nationwide survey of breast pathologists which confirmed a need for an association that would provide support and guidance for breast pathologists and those who work with them. The ABP has since hosted annual conferences and shorter webinars for its members, who provide breast pathology services in a range of settings.

We cater for everyone - general pathologists in DGH laboratories, monospecialists, screening, symptomatic-only, biomedical scientists and trainees.
