Sonic Healthcare UK’s approach to innovation and problem solving has once again been demonstrated by the completion of a project that has made ordering radiology reports easier for thousands of London GPs.

On April 1, all the Whittington Hospital’s pathology services transferred to Sonic Healthcare UK. Around 100 staff have now joined our organisation, and all but one service will continue to be provided at the Whittington’s soon-to-be upgraded essential services laboratory (ESL).
