Health tech company Magentus will be in Birmingham this week for IBMS Congress 2025, joining pathology leaders from across the UK to showcase Evolution vLab, an enterprise-grade Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS).
Evolution vLab has been co-designed with pathology teams to help labs streamline workflows, reduce duplication, and unify reporting across sites.
Designed for high-volume networks, Evolution vLab supports compliance, speeds up turnaround times, and ensures patients receive faster and more consistent results.
A Regional Diagnostic Overhaul
One of the NHS’s largest diagnostic transformations will be under the spotlight, with the partnership between Magentus and Cheshire and Merseyside Pathology Network (CAM) on show.
Serving 2.7 million patients across five NHS Trusts, CAM is implementing Evolution vLab to consolidate services, reduce test duplication, and standardise reporting across the region.
This programme combines cutting-edge technology with genuine collaboration.
With nearly 100 hours of co-design workshops, 20 days of on-site visits, and ongoing Clinical Reference Group meetings CAM and Magentus are working as one team to design a regional service model that is already being recognised as a blueprint for NHS diagnostics.
As Christine Usher, Programme Director for CAM, explains: “With Magentus, this programme is disrupting traditional models and showing what’s possible when NHS teams and suppliers work together as a single delivery team.”
Marlen Suller, Managing Director Magentus EMEA, said that the CAM programme is showing how technology and partnership can come together to create a single virtual laboratory for millions of patients.
Suller said: “Together we are creating the structures, workflows and culture that will enable faster, safer and more consistent care for patients.”
Why IBMS Matters
IBMS Congress (September 22-25) is the UK’s leading forum for pathology innovation.
For Magentus, it’s an opportunity to share how Evolution vLab is already supporting some of the largest pathology networks in Australia and how the CAM programme is demonstrating what that vision looks like in a UK context.
This includes making the most of a vendor-neutral platform that integrates with NHS systems and supports all major pathology disciplines including Core Laboratory, Microbiology, Genomics, Anatomical Pathology, and Transfusion Medicine disciplines.
Visitors to Stand 945 can explore live demos of Evolution vLab and hear directly from NHS teams about how it’s enabling a single virtual laboratory across CAM, supporting clinicians with trusted data and helping labs deliver faster, more consistent care.
