In this episode of our mini-series on perinatal pathology, RCPA President, Associate Professor Trishe Leong is joined by anatomical pathologist Dr Jackie Collett and perinatal autopsy service coordinator Nicole Vander Linden, who work together at the Victorian Perinatal Autopsy Service (VPAS), at the Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne.

Together, Jackie and Nicole emphasise the collaborative effort required to deliver effective perinatal pathology services. They also discuss the establishment of VPAS and how they have been centralising the autopsy referral process to improve the experience for bereaved families.
