iPP: formed by leaders in outsourced healthcare services
iPP’s purpose is to partner with UK healthcare organisations to deliver pathology services that are clinically excellent, responsive to users, cost effective and supportive of NHS national clinical programmes.
iPP drives service improvements through:
- objective and measurable quality standards;
- constructive engagement with front-line clinicians;
- CPA accreditation recommended in the Carter review;
- improved IT connectivity and investment in leading technologies;
- greater operational and financial transparency;
- reconfiguration and consolidation of pathology facilities as integrated networks;
- innovation to continually improve quality of service while reducing costs; and
- leveraging international best-practice.
Each of the founders of iPP – Labco and Sodexo - brings symbiotic skills and resources that are critical to the future of pathology in the UK.
