The histopathology workload of about 20000 requests is diverse and typical of a District General Hospital.

It includes a broad range of specimens, including endoscopic and needle biopsies and an array of surgical biopsies generated by the out-patient, day-care units and in-patient facilities of the Trust and by general practices.

There are a high proportion of resection specimens particularly in regard to breast surgery, lower gastro-intestinal surgery, urology and gynaecology.

Radical surgery for some cancer types has been centralised in Leeds or Bradford (upper gastrointestinal cancer, radical pelvic surgery for urological and gynaecological cancers and head and neck cancer).
