It’s go, go, go at Croydon

South West London Pathology hit one of its major milestones by going live at Croydon Hospital with the new analysers in the lab and new IT systems.

It was one of the most complex and largest changes in the implementation programme thus far.

The implementation was phased – Croydon’s emergency dept went live on Monday 24 August and the rest of Croydon hospital in-patients, outpatients and GPs, went live on Tuesday 25 August.

Thanks to all our staff in clinical biochemistry, haematology and immunology at Croydon and St George’s who worked wonderfully well together as a team.
