Standard 4: Pathology laboratory supervision – Australia National Pathology Standards (First Edition 2027)

Australia National Pathology Standards (First Edition 2027) 4.01: GX laboratory designated person: a full-time pathologist appointee who supervises only within scope, delegates supervision of tests outside their scope to pathologists with the relevant scope at GX, GY and B laboratories in the network, and may delegate supervision of laboratory operations and the preanalytical and analytical phases to scientists and clinical scientists with an appropriate scope

What does 4.01 require?

A GX laboratory is led by a designated person who is a pathologist employed full time. That pathologist supervises only tests inside their own scope; for tests outside it, supervision passes to another pathologist with the right scope at a GX, GY or B laboratory in the network; and oversight of day-to-day operations and of the pre-analytical and analytical work can be delegated to scientists and clinical scientists whose scope fits.
