Pathology

The Pathology service operates across two main sites; Cumberland Infirmary and West Cumberland Hospital.

Pathology departments consist of:

• Blood Sciences (Biochemistry, Haematology and Transfusion)
• Cell Sciences (Histopathology, Non-Gynae Cytopathology, Andrology and Mortuary)
• Infection Sciences (Microbiology, Virology and Immunology)
• Point of Care Testing (PoCT)

For result enquiries, please use the department tab for links to the appropriate department.

For information about specific tests, please use the pathology test directory. 

All users of the NCIC Pathology Department are encouraged and welcome to complete an anonymous User Feedback Survey at any time. All responses will be swiftly reviewed and any actions undertaken. An annual report will be published each year on the actions taken from survey feedback.
