The Health Board has a clear vision and ambition to provide truly outstanding health care services for all its communities and so has established an integrated Cellular Pathology service operating from a brand new, purpose built department at Glan Clwyd Hospital. The Centre has implemented the Leica Aperio system to develop a unique digital pathology solution placing the Health Board at the forefront of Cellular Pathology Service delivery in the UK. An integral aspect of this strategy is the potential to establish new alliances with specialist centres within Wales and further afield. We utilise AI technology in our diagnostic practice and we have a new rapid, continuous tissue processor, the x120.

The Health Board is seeking to expand its established team of consultants by appointing a talented, ambitious, visionary clinician to join the Cellular Pathology Service through this dynamic phase of its development.

The department is established on a unique environment embedded within a culture of teaching and training involving junior pathology medical and scientific staff's in house training. Support to the clinical medical staff training is also provided.
