One team,
making a difference

People are at the heart of Magentus, working together as one team with a single purpose — helping customers deliver healthcare that has a transformative effect on the health of our society.

A contract for the implementation of a new Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) across all NHS pathology services in Lancashire & South Cumbria has been awarded to Magentus. The new single LIMS will replace the four standalone systems that are currently used across eight hospital sites, cutting costs and providing a common platform that will link all laboratories together for the first time. It will support 800 employees and a growing regional population of approximately 1.7 million people.
