Diagnexia will now be\nable to receive, send and report on pathology cases digitally from NHS\norganisations that need support from external specialists. This supports the\ndevelopment of national telepathology networks in the UK and widens access to\nspecialist expertise for patients.\n\n\"UK pathology has spent a decade building digital capability one site at a\ntime. Sectra has already done the connecting work across more than 500\ninstitutions in radiology. Joining that network means the groundwork is done\nbefore the conversation starts,\" says Donal O'Shea, Chief Executive Officer at\nDiagnexia.\n\nDiagnexia is a UK provider of digital pathology services and a diagnostic\npartner to more than 30 NHS organizations. It gives NHS services access to\nover 250 GMC-registered specialist pathologists for routine, urgent and\nspecialist cases, backlog clearance and MDT attendance. Its services integrate\ndirectly with Trusts' existing LIS and PACS. Diagnexia runs a UKAS-accredited\n(ISO 15189:2022) histology laboratory in Oxford and digital accessioning\nfacilities in Oxford and Exeter, both registered with the CQC.\n\nThe service, Sectra Image Exchange Portal (Sectra IEP), is a cloud-based,\nvendor-neutral platform for exchanging and collaborating around medical\nimages. It is already used by more than 500 institutions, mainly within\nradiology. Following a substantial modernization, healthcare providers can now\nuse the service for advanced workflows. It is also open to specialties other\nthan radiology, and customers can go beyond image sharing to manage workflows\nbetween organisations.\n\n\"Every new connection strengthens the network, and with Diagnexia now joining\nIEP, a national telepathology network is rapidly becoming reality. For\nhospitals already connected to IEP, the benefit is immediate: Diagnexia's\nreporting capacity is now accessible through the same connection and workflows\nthey use today. No new integration, no separate supplier onboarding, and no\nadditional infrastructure. Hospitals can quickly tap into specialist expertise\nand additional reporting capacity from Diagnexia, helping them manage demand\nand reduce reporting backlogs,\" says Jane Rendall, Managing Director for\nSectra UK and Ireland.\n\nThe contract was signed in the second quarter of Sectra's 2026/2027 fiscal\nyear and renews annually, covering up to 100,000 cases in the first year.\n\nNHS pathology services are handling growing case volumes with a limited number\nof reporting consultants, and increasing subspecialisation means the\npathologist best suited to a case is often at another organisation. Sending\nwork to external capacity providers today typically relies on bespoke\narrangements between individual laboratories, including the transportation of\nphysical glass slides. This slows reporting times and creates administrative\noverhead for both the sending and receiving laboratories. With Sectra's\nservice, a case can be created as a job directly from a laboratory's worklist,\ndelegated to a receiving organisation, and the completed report returned to\nthe referring organisation's own records.\n\nFor further information, please contact: \nDr. Torbjörn Kronander, CEO and President Sectra  AB, 46 (0) 705 23 52 27 \nMarie Ekström Trägårdh, Executive Vice President Sectra AB and President\nSectra Imaging IT Solutions, 46 (0)708 23 56 10\n\nThis information was brought to you by Cision http://news.cision.com\n\nhttps://news.cision.com/sectra/r/uk-pathology-provider-diagnexia-chooses-sectra-to-speed-up-pathology-reporting-for-the-nhs,c4402898\n\nThe following files are available for download:\n\n https://news.cision.com/sectra/i/sectras-digital-pathology-module,c3571339  Sectras digital pathology module  \n\n \n\nView original\ncontent:https://www.prnewswire.co.uk/news-releases/uk-pathology-provider-diagnexia-chooses-sectra-to-speed-up-pathology-reporting-for-the-nhs-302905442.html\n\n\n\nCopyright (c) 2026 PR Newswire Association,LLC.
