National Pathology Week is sponsored by
A Word from Our Sponsors
Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of mortality in the world today. With early risk assessment,
rapid diagnosis and improved lifestyle choices the chances of survival for patients are greatly improved.
As a worldwide leader in integrated healthcare solutions, Siemens takes a prominent position in the
education of medical conditions that debilitate lives and in raising awareness on the role that pathology and
effective diagnosis plays.
We are therefore proud to be the sole sponsor of National Pathology Week again this year and
will be working closely with The Royal College of Pathologists as it rolls out its programme of events.
Lifestyle factors such as obesity, diabetes and alcohol intake are playing a part in the increase of
cardiac disease in the UK. This can impact on the productivity of our country as people leave the
workforce through ill health and then present spiralling cost pressures on the health service to provide
ongoing care. Influencing lifestyle choices for prevention, and at the same time catching the onset of
disease early through pathology, will have beneficial long-term effects on not only the health of our
nation but also the health of our economy.
In partnership we can help answer the toughest questions facing healthcare today.
