| This commitment to quality will ensure: • Our clients have access to up to date laboratory services which are efficient, effective, accurate and timely. • Our staff have continuing professional development and a safe working environment. • Our organisation will continuously improve provision of services to our clients. To achieve the highest quality standards, our services are regularly audited and accredited by the world recognised National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) in association with the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (RCPA). The Department is assessed according to AS 4633:2004 (ISO 15189:2003) Medical Laboratories particular requirements for quality and competence and AS 4633 (ISO 1589) Application Document – Supplementary Requirements for Accreditation in the Field of Medical Testing (2007) (FAD). The department encompasses most pathology subspecialties with particular expertise in anatomical pathology (5 staff specialists; 3 residents) and haematopathology (three staff specialists; 2 residents). In addition to service provision to cancer patients the Pathology Department aims to accelerate the uptake of personalised medicine in cancer treatment using molecular testing. Thus, we have focused on translational pathology research and foster close relationships with our oncologists, surgeons and haematologists with strong links to other translational laboratories within and outside the Peter Mac. |
