KACP supports research led by its members, helps researchers find collaborators, and holds meetings where findings are presented and discussed.
What the Association does
Collaboration
KACP links members across public and private laboratories, universities and hospitals, which makes multicentre studies possible and helps researchers find partners, sites and data.
Scientific exchange
Our conferences, symposia and webinars give members a forum to present, discuss and critically evaluate scientific, technological and methodological advances in pathology.
Research support
Help with multicentre study design, access to peers for review, and encouragement to publish, including through the Association’s own publications.
Evidence for practice
Research findings inform the guidelines and standards the divisions work on.
The Research and Development Committee
The committee facilitates collaborative research, helps members look for funding, and promotes innovation in laboratory medicine and clinical pathology practice.

Research in the strategic plan
The Strategic Plan 2025 to 2030 makes collaborative research a priority. KACP will:
- Develop research agreements with industry, universities, practitioners and other pathology organisations.
- Take part in collaborative studies and share their results.
- Promote the uptake of research findings in practice and policy.
- Support a KACP journal and build members’ capacity to publish.
Research is led by the Editorial and Research Committee, with support from the Scientific and Education Committee for members undertaking scientific investigations.
