Clinical Pathology

Clinical Pathology at NUH comprises five specialist departments:

• Clinical Chemistry 
• Diagnostic Haematology 
• Immunology 
• Blood Transfusion 
• Molecular Diagnostics

We provide a wide range of analytical and advisory services, which are available for inpatients, outpatients and the community at large. As you would expect from a large teaching hospital this service is backed up with training and research programmes designed to improve patient care.

To ensure the highest standard of work we participate in extensive internal and external quality assurance schemes. Clinical Pathology (Lab number 8848) is UKAS accredited to ISO15189:2012 with an expiry date of 31/08/2022. For information about tests that are covered in this scope please refer to the UKAS website.
Any tests performed in Clinical Pathology that are not accredited are identified on the test report.
