Pathology

Genmed bespoke laboratory solutions and vendor-agnostic managed services support all disciplines of Pathology within the NHS – for today and tomorrow.

Tailored to the specific requirements of your trust or health board, our Pathology managed services can include all laboratory equipment, consumables, maintenance and support services. It’s a true end-to-end solution.

Our relationships with all leading equipment manufacturers give you the widest choice of services and solutions – under a single contract, and our buying power allows us to negotiate cost savings on your behalf. You will have a designated Account Manager, along with support staff based across Genmed’s three UK offices, to manage all supply chain and data analysis activity – ensuring you’re always getting best value and ongoing efficiency savings. Our services include contract management, management of third parties and managing the contracts for all suppliers. Plus, you will have the flexibility to add services and suppliers during the course of the contract, to ensure you will always have the right tools to meet clinical requirements.

Mary Richardson, Director, SWLEOC
The new way of working with Genmed allows staff more time to concentrate on their clinical work, which is very helpful for workflow in the laboratory. As the health service recovers from COVID-19 and the number of outpatient appointments increase, having greater capacity to deal with increased throughput of samples is essential
