From the 1st September 2020 onwards, the FISH service previously provided by the ROH Pathology Department will be transferred to the Molecular Pathology Diagnostic Service (MPDS) based at the QEHB.

All FISH tests previously performed in the ROH Pathology Laboratory have been validated again at the QEHB site following UKAS standards; these tests are awaiting submission for consideration within an extension to scope (ETS) application for accreditation. In the mean time, those tests will not fall under our scope of accredited tests but will be performed within our ISO accredited Laboratory.

Any external requests should be made to MPDS directly, as below. If you have any query, please feel free calling or/and emailing us.
