Integrated diagnostic care, built around the NHS

We add capacity where Trusts need it and look after patients from referral to recovery: six services that work on their own or together, in hospitals, on site and in the community.

Add capacity

Where the activity happens

Three ways to add diagnostic capacity. The difference between them is where the work takes place and who provides the space.

Insourcing & medical solutions

Skilled, highly trained clinical teams who work inside your hospital, alongside your staff, to ease workforce shortages and get more from the rooms you already have.

Best whenyou have the rooms, but not the workforce.

  • Tailored staffingOur professionals complement your existing team, shaped around its gaps and the way your service runs.
  • Seamless integrationA smooth start, so our staff work as one team with yours, on your systems and protocols.
  • Quality assuranceThe same high standard of patient care and operational support on every insourced list.

How patients move through care

Capacity alone does not shorten a pathway. These services take responsibility for the patient’s journey, from referral to recovery.

4Referral to diagnosis

  • From referral onwardsWe take the referral and book every appointment, cutting the waits between steps.
  • Precision at every stepMRI, ultrasound and X-ray imaging, then biopsy and histopathology for an accurate diagnosis.
  • Collaborative MDT careSpecialists, clinicians and support staff agree the most effective plan for each patient.

  • Tailored to the patientEvery plan fits the patient’s condition and their own health goals.
  • A continuum of careTreatment, long-term management and follow-up, planned from the start.

Where a standard service does not fit, we design a care model around your patients, then keep refining it as the need changes.

Best whena standard service does not fit your patients or backlog.

  • Centred on the patientPatients engaged in their own care, with services shaped around their needs and goals.
