IAPQAP SEMINAR

3/13/2017

Announcement of the IAPQAP programme

I would like to announce that IAPMD will embark on providing QAP for anat path labs for the country. I am sure you already know that we have made a trial run  in 2015 and the results were presented at the AGM in September 2015 [you can view the summary here http://www.iapmd.net/iapmd-qap-programme.html] . For the trial run the DVDs were distributed to 21 labs .  At the last AGM we pledged to strengthen this program. 


In January this year, we run a questionnaire survey on your readiness to accept Malaysian QAP program [replacing RCPA of which all 35/35 anatomic pathology labs in Malaysia subscribe to]  organized by IAPMD and  majority of respondents  (87%) agreed and ready to subscribe to this program. On 10th of January we had a meeting with Jabatan Standard Malaysia (DSM)  seeking their advice on how to be a PT provider.  following that DSM has listed us as one of PT (proficiency Testing) providers for medical testing [http://www.jsm.gov.my/proficiency-testing#.WMi42_l942w]  

Further discussion  with DSM led to a 2 day seminar (13-14 March 2017)  on ISO 17043 jointly organized by IAPMD and DSM. We invited 2 speakers from Thailand, Professor Pongsak who is ex-IAP Thailand President and chair of IAPTD QAP program. The Thai Division  have been offering this service in Thailand. We also invited Dr Patravee, the director of Bureau of Quality Lab Standard from Thailand who is an expert on ISO 17403, the quality standard for PTP. This seminar was attended by council members of IAPMD, IAPMD QAP members and some heads of pathology labs in the country.

 At the end of the seminar, the conclusions  could be summarized as below
  1.  the PT provider for anat path is IAPMD and the name is IAPMD QAP
  2. IAPMD QAP will seek  ISO17043 accreditation within 2 years
  3. There will be 2 runs (cycle) per year
  4.  For the next run  10 QAP slides [ scanned and saved in  DVDs] will be sent  to all 35 labs for free [the cost is incurred by IAPMD]. the  DVDs will reach your lab around May 2017. Results disclosure a month later
  5. Since some labs have already subscribed to RCPA - the 2nd run in October2017 will be at a cost of 500 ringgit per that cycle 
  6. The subscription is 1000 ringgit per year from 2018. This is much cheaper than subscribing to RCPA QAP
  7. Majority who attended voted the Thailand style of issuing results
  8. Upon discussion, it was agreed that the disclosure of results that IAPMD QAP will  adopt  is a modified  Thailand style  and RCPA style. We will now call it IAPMD QAP style.  For each case, the target diagnosis and description for each is given and the  differential diagnoses will be listed. When the labs receive the results,  the lab has to analyse whether the diagnosis they made for the case belongs to "Discordant",  "Concordant" or "Minor Discordant. 
  9. The announcement on cycles and disclosure of results are on IAPMD website
  10. Slides for testing are submitted by 18 members who volunteered or nominated at the last AGM (in Penang) representing all states in Malaysia, public, private and universities. There were suggestion to also get the slides given at the exit exams of MPath. There will be slide bank and we also welcome members who are not among the 18  members to submit slides 
  11. The head of the program is Dr Chng Ewe Seng  and the comprising team is at the point finalsing. 
  12.  I hope all of you will participate in this program. This is run by our society and the success of the society is our responsibility

The 3rd IAP MD Annual Scientific Meeting 2016 was held at G hotel, Gurney drive, Penang on the 8th and 9th October 2016. This year the conference was entitled ‘Gastrointestinal Diseases;  Different Scopes, Common Goals’  with our target audience being both from the pathology faculty as well as from the Surgical and gastroenterology faculties. The conference was attended by about 250 delegates being medical officers, trainees, pathologists and clinicians both from Malaysia and overseas.

Our invited speakers were from both a histopathological and clinical background. Our key speaker Clinical Professor Dr M Priyanthi Kumarasinghe from The University of Western Australia captivated the participants with her interesting lectures and high energy. The other speakers from both MOH and MOE delivered valuable information for daily practise of gastrointestinal pathology and further clarified the need for constant co-operation between pathologists and clinicians.

A trade exhibition was also held concurrently with 11 companies participating. The exhibition allowed participants to explore new avenues in pathology. The poster presentation was well received by participants with a total of 31 posters both from the anatomic pathology faculty as well as the clinical faculties.

On the 7th October 2016, a pre-congress workshop was held at Hospital Pulau Pinang entitled ‘Gynaecological Cytopathology for Practicing Personnel’ which was attended by over a 183 participants. These participants included pathologist, Scientific Officers and medical laboratory technologists. The full day course was well –received with positive feedback being the largest cytology course to be held in Malaysia to date.

Overall, the 3rd IAP MD Annual Scientific Meeting 2016 was a great success and the organising committee was able to achieve their goal of both the clinicians and pathologist coming together to nurture the common understanding of GI pathology.

The 2nd Annual Scientific Meeting 2015 International Academy of Pathology (Malaysian Division) was held from 11th to 13th September 2015 at Weil Hotel, Ipoh, Perak.  This 3-day conference has attracted over 180 delegates to attend, which brought together medical laboratory technologists, scientific officers, medical officers, trainees, pathologists and dermatologists from around the country as well as from few South East Asia countries such as Indonesia and Singapore.
 
The focus of this year’s Conference was Dermatopathology and Uropathology.   These two topics were delivered by speakers internationally well regarded in their fields.  Participants were enlightened with the best-practice and new entities, including correct grossing techniques. This conference also opens the opportunity for several speakers from MOH hospitals of different parts of the country to share their cases and experience.
 
Prior to the commencement of the Conference, a successful preconference workshop was held, covering a comprehensive lectures and demonstrations on immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. This workshop was initially targeted for MLTs as well as Scientific Officers; nonetheless it also attracted the interest of the trainees and pathologists.   
 
In addition, a pathology trade exhibition took place throughout the Conference, giving delegates the chance to network between academic sessions and learns about the latest product update, new opportunities and technologies. The Poster Presentations, comprising 26 papers on various aspects of Anatomic Pathology also proved to be a hit among the participants.
 
The Conference Gala Dinner held on 11 September was also a great success, providing a further opportunity for delegates to mingle in a relaxed atmosphere with great food and be entertained with a myriad of superb cultural dance performances and singing
 
The 2nd Annual Scientific Meeting 2015 International Academy of Pathology (Malaysian Division) was a successful event.  Much appreciation from all the participants and they look forward to the next conference for improvement of standard, practice and service delivery of anatomical pathology services.

The Department of Pathology and Dermatology of Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun Ipoh in collaboration with Dermatological Society of Malaysia and The International Academy of Pathology (Malaysian Division) had organized a Clinico Pathology Discussion that was held on a Sunday morning, 12th October 2014 at the Department of Pathology, Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun Ipoh.  

It was conducted quite differently from other clinico pathology discussions, being that the microscopic session were demonstrated first before the clinician’s presentation as requested by Professor Tetsunori Kimura, a visiting lecturer from Sapporo Dermatopathology Institute.  Interesting and selected challenging cases of dermatopathology were discussed.  The session was proven to be effective and stimulating in getting the accurate diagnosis.  The response was overwhelming, notwithstanding that the session was conducted on a Sunday!  The fact that all participants stayed on right through lunch was further testament to the success of the session.
