Diagnostic

The laboratory specialises in all clinical biopsies and surgical samples as well as providing a centre for coordinating any additional test required for complex cases or 2nd opinions. Surgical resections from gynaecological, gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary and head and neck operations are dissected and reported by specialist hispathologists.

Intra-operative (frozen section) service may be considered in cases where a lesion is being excised, and subsequent reconstruction depends on knowledge of whether the margins are tumour free.

However, our team are always on hand to provide an explanation and reassurance if this is necessary. We look after the tissues in perpetuity, safely logged and stored so that should any further investigation be necessary in the future this can easily be undertaken.

We understand that modern physicians need a rapid diagnostic service with personal accountability from the consultants. Prof Stamp and his team pride themselves on their efficiency, range of expertise and availability. We always view your secretary “chasing” a report as a failure on our part, and we do everything possible to ensure that we exceed your expectations.

We will also tailor the report format to your particular practice requirements and ensure that all necessary investigations are undertaken promptly. Whenever there is an unexpected result, we will convey this to you immediately and discuss potential further investigations where indicated.
