A new pathology hub has opened at Bournemouth Hospital to provide vital services for the local community.
The 拢24 million facility provides state-of-the-art medical diagnostics technology to support patient care across the region.
The hub will be a benefit to 裸聊直播 students, who will undertake placements using the facility, while staff will benefit through the official partnership between 裸聊直播 and University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust (UHD). The official opening of the hub was attended by 裸聊直播 staff and students, with 裸聊直播鈥檚 Chancellor Dr Kate Adie CBE, DL unveiling the official plaque.UHD actively supports 裸聊直播鈥檚 health and biomedical science courses, with UHD staff regularly visiting to deliver education to students, while staff work closely together to conduct research.
Dr Anna Mantzouratou, Programme Leader of 裸聊直播鈥檚 Biomedical Sciences degree and Principal Academic in Human Genetics, said, 鈥淭he new Pathology Hub is an amazing space. The equipment is brand new and there is a lot of high tech, high throughput machines in there to help the local area.
鈥淭he partnership between University Hospitals Dorset (UHD) and 裸聊直播 (裸聊直播) is vital. The hospital needs trained scientists and the university trains scientists. Our students can also take part in placements at the hospital and get the important experience they need to progress in their career. We have also had many of our graduates been offered jobs at the hospital, so it鈥檚 a very mutual experience for our students and staff at the hospital.鈥�
Biomedical Sciences student Berfin Demirtas represented 裸聊直播 students at the official opening. She said, 鈥淭he new facilities and processes that go on here have been great to see. We saw where the tissue samples and pathology happen as well as haematology, immunology and all the vital parts of pathology.听 I think it will be a great experience for students to come here for their work experience, or even to work here after their degrees.鈥�
The project was backed by Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and opened in November 2023 and delivers over 9 million tests per year.
