International Paediatric
Pathology Association
IPPA is an "umbrella" organisation, established in 1976, with a remit to bring together interested groups and individuals from around the world to increase knowledge of the diseases of the embryo, fetus, neonate and child and promote its application to the health needs of all countries.
The main means by which it pursues these goals are by facilitating contacts between paediatric pathologists; organising conferences and teaching programmes; and by encouraging publication in the fields of developmental, paediatric (also spelt: pediatric) and perinatal pathology.
Membership is drawn indirectly from Affiliated Societies and directly from individuals working in regions not covered by Affilliated Societies.

IPPA Advanced Courses in Paediatric PathologyStarted by Professor John Emery in 1979, the 6-day annual course consists of lectures, discussions, practical sessions and slide seminars, offered at a variety of European venues and featuring international and local experts. The annual course is limited to about 50 participants, and there is a waiting list for admission. Once admitted, a participant can complete a rolling program of 5 annual courses, considered an informal rite of passage for European paediatric pathologists.

To mark this fantastic milestone we have put together a new section to celebrate IPPA's 40th anniversary. Within this new section we talk about the history of the IPPA course and the people behind it. We also have images from the 2018 course where we saw the unveiling of a special plaque to mark the occasion and speeches from guest speakers including Peter Emery - one of the sons of the late Professor John Emery
