Whole slide imaging, enterprise cloud reporting, and a dedicated network of consultant pathologists — transforming analogue workflows into a digital, future-ready diagnostic pathway.
BSS provides comprehensive digital pathology for NHS trusts — from whole slide imaging scanners and a cloud-hosted platform (Concentriq AP-Dx) to locally based consultant pathologists. We help departments move from manual, courier-dependent workflows to faster, more reliable diagnostics with reporting often targeted within 24 hours of slide upload, improved workforce sustainability, and readiness for AI-assisted diagnostics.
Strategic pathway target: 100% histological turnaround within 10 days for all surgical pathology samples. Day-to-day digital reporting may be faster for many cases once slides are on the platform.
"Faster results with no waiting, no need for couriers. Prioritising both patient care and departmental efficiency."
BSS is a specialist partner in pathology services, delivering industry-leading diagnostic results across the NHS. In response to the national shortage of consultant pathologists, we appoint pathologists based in areas of need to ensure continuity, quality, and regional investment.
Founded by experts with extensive experience across histopathology, recruitment, and digital innovation, we combine clinical leadership with operational delivery at scale.
