Histology and cytology workload is loosely apportioned between consultants in a fair manner (cut up and cytology), although the bulk of reporting of small specimens follows a pool system where cases are triaged into urgent, priority and non-urgent (green) sections.

Most consultants report at least two main clinical specialities, supplemented by a wider range of diagnostic biopsies and small surgical specimens, which includes common high volume mucosal biopsies and skin biopsies. Certain categories of cancer screening pathology specimen are restricted to a limited number of pathologists, in line with cancer screening programme and external quality assurance requirements.The consultant will work with colleagues to agree to a rota to cover all areas of departmental activity and assure proportionate distribution of activity. Pathologists will be expected to work as part of the appropriate specialty team(s) and attend MDTs when required. Occasional booked frozen sections from Sunderland or South Tyneside are transported urgently to Gateshead for processing and immediate reporting.

Although many meetings are now attended remotely, pathologists are encouraged to develop good relationships with clinicians and to attend some meetings in person, if Covid restrictions allow. For transport between sites, there is a departmental electric vehicle that can reserved for use, and a regular minibus transport service linking the three sites. Alternatively, consultants may choose to use their own vehicles for these journeys and travelling expenses and parking charges will be reimbursed.
