Inuvi Diagnostics Limited was registered in 2019 and is an independent provider of pathology diagnostics services to people across the healthcare and wellbeing sectors. They offer pathology testing solutions across many disciplines including clinical biochemistry, immunology, haematology, endocrinology, microbiology, toxicology and virology. Such tests include, health and wellness checks (not in scope of CQC registration), thyroid function, liver and kidney, cholesterol and heart tests, as well as hormone, fertility, and sexual health tests. The service, within the last 12 months, has also conducted COVID-19 antibody testing. On 15 December 2020, the law changed. Coronavirus testing has been exempted as a regulated activity under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. This means that any testing activity in relation to coronavirus has been taken out of scope of CQC registration. The new Coronavirus, Testing Requirements and Standards (England) Regulations 2020 require all private coronavirus test providers to become accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS).
At the time of inspection, the service had recently successfully transitioned from UKAS ISO 17025:2017 to UKAS ISO 15189:2012 accreditation. The United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) is recognised by the Government as the sole national accreditation body for medical laboratories.
The service is regulated to provide Diagnostic and Screening procedures and there is a registered manager in post.
