The Royal College of Pathologists n the UK published a report on the potential remployment of pathologists during the Covid-19 pandemic. We are entering extraordinary times with the growing outbreak of COVID-19. As NHS services come under increasing pressure, exacerbated by staff shortages due to illness, it will be important to adapt, work flexibly and provide assistance across our hospitals and communities in whatever way we can. This may include retraining and redeploying staff into different roles.
