CONGRESS 2023 - Pathology Transformation in Northern Ireland, including the consolidated management of laboratory services

Pathology Services in the Northern Ireland Health and Social Care (HSC) system face a range of challenges including increasing demand, recruitment and retention, aging information systems, rapidly evolving technology and changing quality requirements. The Northern Ireland Department of Health’s vision is for the delivery of modern, sustainable, world-class Pathology services through a single, regional HSC Pathology Services delivery vehicle capable of supporting safe, effective delivery of Clinical Services into the future for HSC Patients. Stakeholder engagement and participation is viewed as critical for successful delivery of the Department’s vision. This presentation will describe how the Northern Ireland Health and Social Care (HSC) system is enabling Pathology stakeholders to design a preferred operating model for a regional Pathology Management Structure that will deliver key benefits for HSC Patients and Service Users, the Pathology Workforce, Pathology Managers and the wider HSC system. It will briefly describe complimentary programmes to implement new regional Pathology Information Management Systems, and implement a regional Workforce and Training Plan.
