DIGITAL PATHOLOGY
UHS is recognised as a global digital centre of excellence and a leader in NHS IT. There
have been many pioneering digital projects in recent years, one of which being in Digital
Pathology. One of our main goals is to move from paper-heavy to paper-light working,
making it easier for staff to share and access information.
The Move to Digital
We made huge strides in our digital transformation in 2019, introducing five PathLite
Compact systems from Cirdan. We wanted a macro imaging solution that fitted with our
overall digital and imaging strategies, one that would allow us to store images centrally
and enable smooth information sharing.
These new systems have transformed the way we work in Cellular Pathology. The
systems have really supported teaching and the sharing of expertise. With the ability to
now view images and cases on the network, supporting trainees and junior members of
staff has become easier and more efficient.
