Surgery to slide: why pre-analytical excellence matters

Andrew Turner explains how pathology services and ultimately patients can benefit, by analysing and then optimising the pre-analytic phase.

In pathology, every diagnosis starts long before a specimen reaches the laboratory bench. The journey of that specimen, from collection in the community, clinic or ward to receipt in the laboratory, is often unseen but critical. This pre-analytical phase has a direct impact on laboratory efficiency, specimen integrity, and ultimately, patient outcomes.

At GP Liaison, we specialise in transforming this journey, using advanced data intelligence to optimise how specimens move, when they arrive, and what condition they arrive in. We work closely with NHS pathology services across the UK to make the invisible visible, turning disparate data into actionable insights that help streamline diagnostics.
