United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS)

Our Blood Sciences, Microbiology and Cellular Pathology laboratories are inspected annually by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) against international standards (ISO15189) and have achieved accreditation.

Please select the appropriate accreditation below to view the current schedule of accredited tests.

Tests that are not currently accredited are listed within the laboratory service user handbooks below.

Tests that are unaccredited have been subjected to the same thorough in- house verification testing prior to being offered to service users and undergo regular quality assurance however they have not yet been reviewed by UKAS to be added to the schedule of accreditation.

The Mortuary service is licensed by the Human Tissue Authority (HTA) and the Blood Transfusion laboratory adheres to the requirements of the Blood safety and Quality Regulations which is regulated by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
