[Histonet] Specimen Retention Guidelines

[Weems, Joyce]

Help quick!

I was also sited for not having the current guidelines for specimen
retention in my manual. They have been changed from keeping paraffin 
blocks
5 years to 10 years. I have searched the CAP site and cannot locate the 
new
documentation. Does anyone know where on the website it is?

Many thanks. Joyce
