Diagnostic Histopathology Service

The Core Pathology facility of the Blizard Institute at Queen Mary University is accredited with Clinical Pathology Accreditation (Ref. No. 2778), HTA licensed and currently processes over 4000 surgical cases. We have a full team of Consultant Histopathologists covering all specialities as well as an experienced and efficient team of Biomedical Scientists. All the biomedical scientists are HPC registered and participate in CPD activities.

Turnaround times for most cases are 24-48 hours. More complex specimens, and those specimens requiring additional testing, may take longer to produce the final report.

The facility can also carry out sub-specialities through a network of experts which includes:

• Frozen sections
• Immunohistochemistry / Immunoflurosence
• Cytology
• Renal biopsies
• Hirschsprung's (Rectal suction) biopsies
• Electron microscopy

Some additional testing may be carried out by referral CPA accredited laboratories.
