About us
The Doctors Laboratory (TDL) is the largest UK independent provider of highly specialised pathology/clinical laboratory services to clinicians (GPs and specialists), hospitals, community health services, and their patients.
Our pathology and laboratory services form an essential component of modern healthcare services, backed up by comprehensive quality standards accreditation across a wide range of disciplines. We provide our clients with the laboratory information and consultant advice required for the diagnosis and treatment of medical disorders.
Our flagship main laboratory in London is one of the largest pathology laboratories in Europe. It is situated in the heart of London's bioscience hub, next door to world-renowned medical institutions and hospitals such as the Francis Crick Institute, the Wellcome Trust, and University College Hospital. The Halo is a purpose-built facility featuring the latest technologies and, coupled with our many years of experience, it allows us to deliver world-class pathology and diagnostic services.
We have an additional laboratory working to the same high standards in Manchester to help us provide a comprehensive service across the whole of the UK.
