Meet Dr Matthew Evans, Consultant
in Cellular Pathology...
What is it like working in the Pathology department at UHS?
• The UHS Histopathology Department is made up of a large team of pathologists and scientific staff.
In spite of its size, the team is very friendly and supportive; since I arrived, my colleagues have made
me feel extremely welcome and I have never had any concerns about seeking help from anybody,
no matter how silly the query! The department received referrals from all over the region and so we
frequently see challenging and complex cases; there is very much a team approach to these cases,
with most of the team coming together to work on the case together which makes the challenge
extremely enjoyable.
When did you join UHS? What made you choose this NHS Trust?
• The UHS Histopathology Department is rare in having on-site access to all the platforms required to
perform all the companion diagnostic tests required for cancers; the on-site molecular pathology
department is also part of Central and South GLH. So few departments in the UK are able to provide
all this testing locally and - with this being my main interest - UHS was a natural choice.
