[Histonet] certification of histotechnologists

[Edwards, Richard E.]

During the time  of  the  British Empire, many  of the  member countries/colonies adopted many  British institutions, including the British model of organizing medical laboratories and the associated training .I believe the link is still maintained today in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and Hong Kong, in fact the UK professional body (Institute of BioMedical Science) used to supervise their qualification processes, maybe  they  still do?, perhaps somebody could inform us?.

I have a new topic along this thread - seems to be generating a lot of interest.  What, if any, histology group, such as NSH in the US - is available in Europe?   Or any other support group for that matter.  I have colleagues in Germany who would greatly benefit from being able to interact with other histotechs who are closer than ME. (Chicago area)  Any suggestions will be appreciated.  Also, are there certifying agencies out there like ASCP here?

Same in UK, I have never understood why  the separation in the  Land of the

Free.

Just curious if  any consideration has been given to including

Histotechnology in your medical laboratory programs as we do in Canada? our

graduates are certified for 5 different careers and shortages in one

particular laboratory does not seem to be a problem.
