CWPS is a managed network of laboratories hosted by University Hospitals of Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust.

There is an existing contract between Coventry and Warwickshire Pathology Services (“CWPS”) and the supplier, Ortho Clinical Diagnostics (“OCD”) for the provision of Blood Transfusion equipment.
