The Know Pathology Know Healthcare campaign was started in 2013 by Pathology Awareness Australia in response to the discrepancy between the publicly perceived low value of pathology and the actual very high value of pathology to healthcare.
We believe this is the first time in the world that such diverse interests have united to promote the profession in this way.
