The provider has performed this service to the highest quality level without any issue, and better than other providers seen in the past.
The key criteria were the quality of the frozen section biopsy slides produced for removal of complex facial skin cancers with Mohs surgery. Users from dermatologists to pathologists have confirmed the quality of the slides.
The award decision was made by Dr Ven Samarasinghe, Consultant Dermatologist and Mohs Surgeon and there is no conflict of interest.
Written representations should be sent to Sam Hale, email: sam.hale@stgeorges.nhs.uk",
