Pathology Referral Testing and Reporting Services
Pathology Referral Testing and Reporting Services
A pathology test informs 70% of all medical interventions but pressure on vital pathology services is mounting as populations age, chronic conditions increase in frequency and services become constrained by staff shortages.
Outsourced pathology services can prove invaluable in helping to deliver accurate and timely diagnoses which is why HealthTrust Europe (HTE) has put in place the UK’s first OJEU-compliant framework for Pathology Referral Testing and Reporting Services.
The framework supports ambitious targets for cancer by having a broad pool of specialists available. It has been specifically designed to help clinicians and healthcare providers ensure the right test is available at the right time to deliver improved diagnostic services and better patient outcomes. As such, it aligns with the recommendations of the NHS Improvement National Pathology Implementation Optimisation Delivery Group.

Committed to excellence
As an innovative healthcare solutions partner, HTE’s aim is to enable healthcare providers to source the highest quality products and services at the best price.
All pathology testing suppliers on the framework comply with UKAS ISO 15189 and have been rigorously vetted in terms of their quality and value propositions through a robust, compliant evaluation process to ensure best practice and embed the drive for continuous improvement.
