Conjunctival scraping – bacteriological culture and referral for acanthamoeba

February is National Heart Month, a time to raise awareness, wear red, and take steps for healthier hearts. But at South West London Pathology, we’re celebrating with a breakthrough that’s already changing patient care.

Our newly refurbished Immunohistochemistry (IHC) laboratory is now fully operational. This is now one of the largest IHC laboratory in the country. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a powerful laboratory technique which use antibodies to detect specific proteins (antigens) in tissue samples, helping diagnose diseases like cancer, infections, and neurological disorders, classify tumor types, guide treatment, and study disease progression by visualising where these proteins are located under a microscope.
