Pathology Portal launched by the RCPath and HEE

The Royal College of Pathologists, together with Health Education England (HEE) and colleagues in other professional bodies have developed an innovative adaptive learning platform to support trainees, practising pathologists, scientists and those in pathology-linked roles – the Pathology Portal.

Using technology to enhance learning, the Portal incorporates the ability to digitally host and view whole slide images and a wide range of other resources, including teaching sessions and quizzes. Published content includes over 1500 modules with more to follow, in a phased rollout across pathology specialities.

The Pathology Portal is part of HEE's newest digital platform and is offered as part of its Learning Hub sitting alongside other educational resources.

The Pathology Portal, launched on 15 August 2022, has been designed to support not only digitally morphological learning, but also to support clinical and macroscopic learning. It includes upload of material already scanned as part of previous Deanery projects, to reduce duplication and provide broader access.
