Keeping pathology reporting moving
Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust partnered with Medica Group to rapidly expand histopathology reporting capacity.
Digital histopathology reporting
Our team of GMC-registered UK consultant histopathologists provide market-leading pathology services to support the delivery of excellent patient care. Accepting blocks, slides, and digital images, our highly-specialised clinical pathology reporters offer fast, quality feedback in a way that suits you.
We offer:
- Clinical oncology reporting services
- Flexible options to address NHS reporting backlogs
- Sub-specialist reporting and access to ultra-specialist expertise
Imaging and scanning services
Not already digital? Our team of experts can digitise slides for you to enable NHSI pathology networks, offering flexible solutions to improve efficiencies and patient care.
A key benefit of our digital pathology service, alongside reporting, is supporting hospital departments with growing backlogs in pathology, offering glass slide digitisation via high quality scanning. With more hospital departments facing workforce shortages and backlogs building, MedPath® has adopted the latest technology to ensure that every patient’s diagnosis is efficiently managed, translating to rapid treatment decisions and improved outcomes.
Medica’s pathology hub based in Runcorn, Cheshire houses our digital scanner where we are on hand to report on cases from anywhere in the UK.
