BSS Digital Pathology

End-to-End Digital Pathology

Whole slide imaging, enterprise cloud reporting, and a dedicated network of consultant pathologists — transforming analogue workflows into a digital, future-ready diagnostic pathway.

A Complete Digital Pathology Service

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."
