Bridge Pathology Ltd. is a recently registered company located in 
Bristol, that will specialise in the processing of biopsy specimens 
submitted by veterinary surgeons. Tissue samples will be examined 
histologically and reports generated by veterinary pathologists, with an 
emphasis on providing the veterinary surgeon with as much specific, 
detailed and clinically useful information as possible. Where 
applicable, histochemical and immunohistochemical methods will be used 
to characterise the tissues further. In addition, samples received

further our understanding of animal disease and to develop prognostic 
and diagnostic assays to benefit veterinary patients. Results from these 
research studies will be submitted for publication in the scientific  
literature.
We hope to establish Bridge Pathology Ltd. as the UK's premier
