contributed by Thermo Fisher Scientific | 07/02/2015

Torbay Hospital is a leading screening centre for bowel cancer and a regional training centre for NHS consultants. In 2014, the histopathology department experienced a twelve percent increase in cases over the previous year. The efficiency of Thermo Fisher™ Excelsior™ tissue processors helped the hospital keep up with the increased demand and meet targeted turnaround times – all in a cost effective and reliable manner.

As part of the South Devon NHS Foundation Trust, Torbay Hospital serves a population of approximately 370,000 people, with a service area from South Dartmoor, England to the coast stretching from Dawlish to Dartmouth. In 2006, it became one of the first screening centres for bowel cancer and is now a regional training centre for NHS consultants for early detection.

The histopathology department is a vital resource for the hospital and in 2014 experienced a twelve percent increase in the number of cases over the previous year. With such a high demand, and the associated pressures to meet targets for turnaround time, it is vital that tissue processing instrumentation is both cost effective and reliable.
