Graham Beastall
Graham is immediate past president of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) and has recently served as professional advisor to Health Education England and the Academy of Healthcare Science in implementing higher specialist scientific training in pathology and laboratory medicine. He’s also held numerous representative roles, including chair of the UK NEQAS Steering Committee for Clinical Chemistry, chair and president of the Association for Clinical Biochemistry, vice chair of Medical Research Scotland, vice president of the Royal College of Pathologists, secretary of the European Communities Confederation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, and board member of Clinical Pathology Accreditation (UK) Ltd. He says his overriding motivation is “to work with others to improve the quality and appropriate use of pathology and laboratory medicine in order to achieve better clinical outcomes for patients,” and thinks pathology’s bright future relies on “those in the profession showing leadership at local, national and international level.”
