Pathology in the UK NHS
800m pathology tests per annum – Department of Health – Digital First (2014)7 times over capacity – Carter Report 2008… Capacity = 5,600m Demand is rising BUT…Local Buyers are “locked in” to inelastic local supply so market forces cannot achieve best valueRivalry is limited to local geographic regionProcesses are expensive, slow and clinically unsafe when use paper

How to Disrupt?
A national lab to lab exchange for all laboratory disciplines.From any lab, to any lab.
2009Laboratory to laboratory exchanges within Greater Manchester Pathology Network
Dave Johnson ,Trafford General Hospital “X-lab’s system is extremely effective and efficient. We have been using it for processing Chlamydia tests and the reduction in turnaround has been dramatic – in fact, now in a best-case scenario we can get test results back within a day. The reporting process is seamless, largely automated – and paper-free. It has increased efficiency and accuracy and is of great benefit to clinicians and patients.”

Disruptive?
Where we would like to go:A Digital Stock Exchange for UK Pathology
The ability to buy and sell pathology capacity across the UK to give the best value, finest
quality service to the NHS
NPEx Roadmap
•Transport Integration•Laboratory Results Portal•Benchmarking•Exchange – buying and selling capacity•RFID in Sample Tubes
