About our service
There are many areas within pathology, these are:
Clinical Biochemistry, Haematology, Blood Transfusion, Cellular Pathology and Microbiology.
The departments are staffed by a combination of highly trained Biomedical Scientists/Associate Practitioners and Medical Laboratory Assistants. Each area provides acute and non-acute services.
- Clinical Biochemistry - measures a wide range of analytes including renal/liver/cardiac/tumour and bone function tests. These measurements help in detecting and diagnosing disease and in monitoring treatment.
- Haematology and Blood Transfusion - encompasses clinical management of blood disorders, laboratory measurement of cellular components of blood, provision and proper use of transfusion products, and laboratory identification and clinical management of disturbances in haemostasis.
- Cellular Pathology - is the section of Pathology concerned with the study of cells (Cytology) and the study of tissues (Histopathology).
- Microbiology- helps diagnosis and treatment of infection and infectious disease.
The pathology department is where laboratory tests are completed. These play a critical unseen role that help with medical decisions, such as diagnosis and monitoring conditions/diseases.
