Description
Here at MSE Trust we strive to provide high quality care for every patient, every time.

We would be nothing without our staff. So it goes without saying that when it comes to recruiting new team members, we're looking for the best. We encourage staff to be innovative, to challenge the "as is" and to always put patients first.


The Trust is currently working to enable the service to be clinically driven and led by the new MSE Pathology Group model supported with an effective management structure and clear lines of governance accountable for timely delivery of high quality, safe and cost effective pathology service all in line with the recommendation made by Lord Carter.

Haematology is the main clinical specialty within Pathology.

There are clinically driven plans for subspecialisation in haematology with an aim to strive for excellence in malignant and non-malignant haematology service delivery across MSE.


The transformation investment will enable, amongst others:

  • Promote local improvement and performance
  • Remove unwarranted variation of services
  • Drive Quality and Governance throughout to improve patient experience and outcomes.
  • Introduce single disciplines within the Pathology group
  • Development of the 510 year plan to support the merging organisation
  • Digital network.


Attracting new talent is key to our future and the scale of our organisation will give far more career, training and development opportunities for all our staff.
