Severn Pathology set out to establish a system that would increase standardisation, enable efficient, low-risk collaboration and be fully in line with the Sustainability and Transformation Programme, and latterly the NHSI drive to pathology networking. This meant implementing a single LIMS to support multi-site requirements and enable multiple incumbent IT systems to share information.

Embracing digital pathology, future-oriented pathology lab reaches beyond its hospital walls.

Integrating GLIMS 9 in its innovative robotic track system, Ketterthill improved productivity and speed, supporting opportunities for growth.

Barts Health NHS Trust had a mixed estate of LIMS across its sites. The Trust identified that management of multiple systems and hardware platforms was far from optimal, and the migration to a single platform across all sites would improve efficiency and workflow, and would enable all sites to benefit from enhanced WinPath Enterprise functionality.

GLIMS provides a pooled, evolutive solution that supports all the specialities of AP-HP’s 121 laboratories.

We consider how the tumultuous events of 2020 will impact on 2021, and how they will affect the company, the NHS, and the world of pathology for years to come.
