Lewisham Healthcare NHS Trust has adopted a new laboratory system provided by CSC.

The contract will see the provision of a laboratory solution over three years. The service will allow doctors to request and obtain pathology test online.

The new system is designed to be easy to use and customise. Alex Singer, Lewisham’s pathology manager, said “It also allows us to develop and test new interfaces without impacting the core system or existing users and migrate gradually to CSC’s next-generation solution”.
