“The ability to adapt the managed equipment service
to our individual requirements throughout the
length of a long-term contract is a great benefit
and extremely reassuring, allowing the Trust to
have increased flexibility with its equipment selection
and, in turn, offer its patients access to the latest in
diagnostic imaging equipment technologies.
The new equipment will enable us to deliver
innovative scanning techniques as well as meet the
ever expanding service requirements for both
planned and non-elective patients.”
