DIAGNOSTICS AUDITS

Clinical DI’s diagnostic audit services are designed to support continuous improvement in histopathology reporting and overall diagnostic quality. By systematically reviewing reported cases, we help healthcare providers identify interpretive discrepancies, assess reporting consistency, and align practices with national standards and clinical guidelines.

Our audits are led by senior Consultant Histopathologists with deep subspecialty expertise and a strong focus on education, transparency, and collaboration. We provide clear, evidence-based feedback with actionable insights, enabling pathology departments to address variance, enhance reporting quality, and reduce clinical risk.

These services are particularly valuable for internal quality assurance, revalidation, regulatory compliance (including ISO and UKAS requirements), and learning from adverse events or complex case reviews. Whether delivered as part of routine audit cycles or targeted reviews, Clinical DI ensures a confidential, constructive approach that supports professional development and service improvement.

Through our audit and advisory services, we help reinforce clinical governance frameworks and drive better outcomes for both patients and pathology teams.

Primary Reporting

Our primary reporting service is built around efficiency, accuracy, and reliability. By leveraging a trusted network of experienced Consultant Histopathologists and robust digital workflows, we ensure that routine cases are processed, reviewed, and reported within an exceptionally short timeframe—often under 24 hours for standard cases.

Clinical DI operates with a digital-first mindset, enabling seamless sample tracking, prioritisation of urgent cases, and real-time communication between laboratory teams and reporting Consultants. We work closely with our partner laboratories to ensure slide digitisation and upload is completed without delay, allowing our reporting team to begin assessments promptly.

All reports meet stringent quality standards and are delivered securely via integrated systems, ensuring that clinical teams receive timely information to support swift diagnosis and treatment decisions. Our approach is especially valuable in supporting Trusts with backlog reduction, elective recovery, or managing fluctuating capacity within in-house teams.

Secondary Reporting

Our secondary reporting service provides trusted, consultant-led second opinions for histopathology cases requiring additional assurance, specialist input, or rapid review. Whether for complex or ambiguous findings, rare diagnoses, or medico-legal reassurance, our expert pathologists deliver clear, clinically sound reports with minimal delay.

With operations extending into overnight hours, we ensure that urgent second opinion requests are reviewed promptly—often returned by the next morning. This enables clinicians to progress care pathways without unnecessary delays and supports high-quality decision-making in time-sensitive situations.

Clinical DI’s network includes highly experienced Histopathologists across a wide range of subspecialties, ensuring that each case is matched with the most appropriate expertise. All reporting is conducted within a secure digital environment, maintaining full traceability and compliance with clinical governance standards.

We work closely with healthcare providers to integrate secondary reporting into routine workflows, offering flexibility, reliability, and peace of mind when it matters most.

MDT Support

Clinical DI offers comprehensive histopathology reporting to support Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) meetings, ensuring timely and accurate diagnostic input that contributes to effective treatment planning. Our specialist Consultant Histopathologists are experienced in preparing high-quality reports aligned to MDT requirements, with a focus on clarity, clinical relevance, and turnaround speed.

We understand the importance of having definitive diagnoses available ahead of MDT discussions. That’s why our team prioritises these cases, working flexibly—including out of hours—to meet scheduling demands and minimise delays in patient care. Reports are delivered in a format tailored to your local MDT process, ensuring ease of integration and efficient case discussion.

Clinical DI also supports direct communication between pathologists and clinical teams when further clarification or context is needed, helping to streamline collaboration and ensure the best possible outcomes for patients.

By partnering with Clinical DI, healthcare providers can rely on responsive, expert pathology input that enhances MDT effectiveness and supports the highest standards of diagnostic care.

Whole Slide Imaging

Whole Slide Imaging (WSI) is at the core of Clinical DI’s digital pathology approach, allowing high-resolution slide scanning and instant access to specimens from anywhere in the world. By converting traditional glass slides into digital files, we eliminate geographical and logistical barriers—enabling faster turnaround times and greater diagnostic flexibility.

Our WSI platform supports remote reporting, real-time case sharing, and streamlined second opinions. Consultant Histopathologists can review cases from secure locations, collaborate with peers, and provide input with enhanced speed and accuracy. The technology also facilitates more robust case archiving, easy retrieval, and comprehensive audit trails for clinical governance.

We partner with laboratories and healthcare providers to integrate WSI into existing workflows, providing guidance on slide preparation, scanning protocols, and data security. The result is a future-ready pathology service that improves efficiency, supports backlog clearance, and enhances diagnostic quality through seamless digital access.

By adopting WSI, Clinical DI empowers clinicians and pathologists with faster insights, increased flexibility, and the tools to deliver truly modern diagnostic care.
