Pathology Services for the Black Country
Behind the scenes there is a lot of work going on as we develop our pathology services. Bringing together
four Pathology departments requires lots of planning. The different disciplines meet regularly to take this
forward.
Sustainable services for the future
The four NHS trusts in the Black country have offered excellent pathology services both to their hospitals and to surrounding GPs. However there are pressures on the service and these include: • Implementing new innovations is expensive and sometimes needs larger organisations to be efficient and effective. • Attracting scientists and medical staff to work in NHS laboratories is increasingly difficult and taking a network of departments forward is seen as very attractive. We will be reconfiguring our services so that modern pathology is relevant, timely and sustainable into the future.
We are a probably the largest employer
of clinical laboratory staff in the West
Midlands conurbation. Our vacancies
are advertised on NHS jobs.
At present we are interested in:
•
Consultant Histopathologists
•
HCPC registered Biomedical
Scientists in several specialities.

need then do contact us on:
