VIRTUAL TOUR OF A SYNNOVIS LABORATORY
Synnovis is a partnership between SYNLAB UK & Ireland, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, and King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. We bring together the very best in clinical, scientific and operational expertise. We are responsible for transforming existing hospital-based laboratory and diagnostic services into an integrated ‘hub and spoke’ pathology network for south east London.
A state-of-the-art ‘hub’ laboratory has been opened as part of this transformation at Friars Bridge Court, in Blackfriars Road, London, bringing cutting-edge instrumentation, technology and innovation together under one roof. Our Blackfriars hub is one of the largest, purpose-built pathology laboratories in the UK, designed to meet the needs of modern-day healthcare services. We also developing on-site hospital laboratories (the ‘spokes’) to provide essential services, focusing on the rapid turnaround of urgent tests, such as those needed for A&E departments.
Synnovis employs world-class scientific, clinical and operational experts at the top of their game. The deep experience of our teaching hospital Trusts, combined with the knowledge of a network of experts and access to the latest equipment allows us to continually add to our knowledge base. Our goal is to ensure that everyone at Synnovis is learning from the best.
STAFF ENGAGEMENT GROUPS
The Staff Engagement Group (SEG) is a forum for open and honest sharing and discussion of news, views, ideas and feedback. They are held once a month on each site and there is one representative present from each department, and we always welcome new representatives.
We are the largest pathology service provider in the UK. We also aim to be the most innovative, both in terms of the new tests we develop, and the way we design, deliver and seek to continuously improve our services.
