Informatics plays a major role in the running of the Pathology Service. All laboratories are fully computerised. The majority of reporting is now carried out electronically and the Trust is currently investing in electronic requesting systems for primary and secondary care. Results are available as a web service in the major hospitals and this service is also available to GPs over NHS net. GP reports are also delivered direct to practice systems using the National NHS Pathology Messaging Service. IT support is provided in conjunction with the Trust's Informatics Directorate and we have a team of internal specialists dedicated to the support of our complex infrastructure.
