Pathology Quick Guides

The Pathology Transformation Project aims to provide local General Practitioners (GPs) with the knowledge and support tools to ensure that:

• The tests requested are clinically appropriate to the patient’s complaint;
• The tests are not duplicated unnecessarily;
• The tests are carried out in line with the recommended guidelines.
