Gwybodaeth

North West London Pathology (NWLP) is an NHS pathology partnership joint venture between Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, Chelsea & Westminster NHS Foundation Trust and The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. NWLP is modelled as a shared services organisation jointly owned by the three Trusts. The organisation is hosted by Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and as the legal entity for NWLP our staff are employed by Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.

NWLP is based on a ‘hub and spoke’ structure; the majority of routine, specialist and non-urgent activity is centralised at our hub site at Charing Cross Hospital. Urgent tests required for immediate patient management and treatment are performed in 24/7 Essential Service Laboratories based on-site within the seven hospital sites in the group.

The partnership has created an innovative and sustainable service that delivers outstanding quality to users and patients alike. This innovative approach allows the service to better manage demand, standardise operations, improve value for money and make use of state-of-the-art technology.

Specialist services include the Electron Microscopy Unit. Our Specialist Integrated Haematology Malignancy Diagnostics Service (SIHMDS) is located at Hammersmith Hospital. This is a diagnostic service that includes immunophenotyping (flow cytometry), cytogenetics, and molecular genetics.

Infection and Immunity

Our microbiology service uses state-of-the art molecular technology to provide a full range of testing for bacterial and fungal culture as well as the antibiotic sensitivity of infectious organisms.

Our Immunology service helps to diagnose patients with allergies, defective immunity systems and autoimmune diseases. Our specialist services for Immunity include histocompatibility and Immunogenetics which provides a regional service.
