Gaining ISO 15189 accreditation is just the start of the hard work, says Tony Oliver, Programme Manager and laboratory accreditation expert at CliniSys. The ongoing accreditation process is a challenge that involves everyone in the lab, with LIMS at its heart.
What can the mobilising genomics laboratory hubs learn from the more advanced pathology networks? CliniSys marketing manager Matthew Fouracre put the question to programme manager Tony Oliver and genomics consultant Steve Abbs, who agreed the first lesson would be: implement a single laboratory information system to drive standardisation.
The Infected Blood Inquiry recommended the introduction of ‘vein-to-vein’ tracking to improve the oversight of blood stocks, demand and outcomes for patients. In 2022, the then Northern Ireland Health Minister, Robin Swann, committed Northern Ireland to establishing the first system in Europe by 2027.
Clinisys will be inviting our customers in Scotland to the Clinisys Customer Summit Scotland 2025 at Glasgow Technology and Innovation centre, on the 29th April 2025.
Clinisys’ annual conference has become such a major event that it has been split in two. This time, it was Clinisys WinPath laboratory information system customers who gathered at The Belfry to discuss the major challenges facing pathology, and the role of technology in addressing them.
In 2023, Clinisys delivered 467 UK go-lives to new and existing Clinisys WinPath and ICE customers; and is likely to exceed that in 2024. We talked to Adam Chapman and Steven Dexter about their work and what makes their teams so successful.
Northern Ireland’s CoreLIMS programme has achieved another significant milestone by migrating the Northern Ireland Blood Transfusion Service (NIBTS) away from its 15-year-old laboratory information system and onto Clinisys WinPath.
Clinisys has created a deployment model based on the tried and tested PRINCE 2 methodology. It works, but there are plenty of things that Biomedical Scientists can do to help, as Moira Johnston, Matt Foreman and Tony Oliver explain.
Leading pathology providers heard how Clinisys’ WinPath Enterprise LIMS and ICE order communications system are delivering security, scalability, collaboration, and standardised ways of working right now.
This case study provides an overview of how the successful deployment of WinPath Enterprise has aided in the realisation of Lord Carters vision for network pathology service at BCPS.
