Our clinical microbiology department provides diagnostic bacteriology laboratory services to UCLH and the Camden and Islington clinical commissioning groups. Located within the department is one of four London Health Protection Agency (HPA) collaborating centres. The UCLH HPA Collaborating Centre provides a valuable link to primary care and support for communicable disease surveillance within Camden and Islington Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs).
