About us

CliniSys’ story began when William Woodard Associates was founded in the UK by William Woodard and a group of pathology specialists who were passionate about offering better software for the pathology service. The company that would become known as CliniSys from 2008, began here.

First full NHS site goes live with our specialist LIMS, building on dominance of the private sector pathology market, BUPA (now Spire), Nuffield Health, BMI, Ramsey, and previous adoption at NHS department level. 
Starting as we mean to go on, our system adheres to all statutory requirements and continuous innovation is embedded in our approach, leading to ongoing improvement and enhancements to our software – something we remain committed to. 

A big leap forward with the launch of our first Windows LIMS System, providing our users with a simpler and familiar user interface, alongside other new developments and tools to enhance productivity.

CliniSys secures its first NHS network, connecting three hospitals – including a large teaching hospital – and delivering standardisation across the county. This proved to be the first of many multi-site solutions, which has grown further with the advent of NHS Pathology networks in the UK.

CliniSys acquires MIPS, the company that developed GLIMS and CyberLab, to become the largest European LIMS supplier, bringing our customers the combined benefits of broader expertise while retaining specialist local solutions.
CliniSys also acquired Torex Laboratory Systems, the company that owned and supported LabCentre, earlier the same year. 

2011 saw the launch of Logistics Management Solution for end-to-end sample traceability. 
Also the year we formed our partnership with Siemens to deliver Point of Care Testing. 

MIPS strengthens presence in Germany with the acquisition of MCS-LDS, one of the major laboratory information systems providers in Germany. This acquisition is the platform to expand our products and services in the German speaking countries.

CliniSys is acquired by Roper Technology, whose healthcare division includes Sunquest and Data Innovations. We then merged Sunquest’s ICE business to become the market leading Order Communication Software supplier in the UK.
MIPS acquires Belgian Anapath LIS market leader Fresco Consult.
And, in what was clearly a busy year, CliniSys and hc1.com form a partnership to deliver a unique pathology relationship management solution, offering an innovative platform that enables labs to deliver the highest level of service to our customers. 

MIPS acquires Cointec, a Spanish market leader of laboratory information software.
CliniSys plays a major role in supporting England’s primary HPV screening service, after securing contracts to provide its requesting and reporting software (ICE) to seven out of eight new laboratory hubs. 

CliniSys Group develops innovative solutions to increase test capacity across the UK and Europe to help tackle the Covid-19 pandemic. Continuous innovation also sees us launch GLIMS Genomics in France and the UK and provide Tissue Typing and Newborn Screening LIMS Solutions in the UK.

CliniSys Group launches new website and branding. One brand and voice whilst delivering the same high level of localised support to our customers through the combined strengths and experience of the CliniSys and MIPS teams. 

CliniS‎ys acquires HORIZON Lab Systems and combines with Sunquest Information Systems to create one of the world’s largest organisations dedicated to diagnostics and laboratory informatics. The combined group will enable better public health outcomes through innovation in diagnostics and laboratory informatics technology.
