At Synnovis, we are currently shaping the future of pathology services by creating a world-leading Hub and Spoke pathology network with our NHS partners. A large part of this modernisation will involve moving 70% of our services to a purpose built, state of the art hub laboratory in the heart of London. However, the job you are applying for will be based at one of our hospital sites (St Thomas on the South Bank, opposite the Houses of Parliament) and will not be moving to the hub, due to the specialist area of diagnostics performed and the requirement to be close to the clinical teams managing patient care.
