Discussing histopathology - past, present future

While Prof Sir James Underwood gained fellowship with the Royal College of Pathologists in 1984, Dr Matthew Clarke gained associate status in 2015. They both decided to specialise in histopathology, but at different times. Dr Clarke and Sir James discuss changes and similarities in training, sub-specialisation, autopsies, independent working and more in this exciting and stimulating discussion. A few generations apart, what has stayed the same and what has changed?
