Public Health England (PHE) and the Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust have recently officially opened a new two-storey extension to the current pathology building on the Heartlands Hospital site in Birmingham.
Jointly funded in partnership with Public Health England West Midlands, it will accommodate a new centralised core laboratory. Investment in both service redesign and new equipment includes a 26 metre-long automatic track to increase efficiency in processing test results. The facility was designed by architects, RPS, and built by Interserve.
