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.
Our next course in 'Advanced Paediatric Pathology' will be held in Sheffield, UK from the 22nd - 28th September 2018.
In 1979 IPPA's very first course was held in Sheffield, with less than 17 participants. Today the IPPA advanced course in paediatric pathology has grown to having 77 participants per year with a three year waiting list. In 2018, we are returning back to Sheffield.
