NHS Services
Fully Managed Services
Vascular Laboratory services delivered in house by our team of Vascular Scientists can use existing equipment, or supply equipment, to provide high quality services to your patients. This service can be developed as per your Trusts Vision.
Information Governance is of paramount importance, as are performance measures. Our team undertake regular peer review and audit to monitor standards and for quality improvement.
Service Level Agreements and Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) are set to monitor the quality of the service we provide.
Existing Patient Information systems and RIS/PACS solutions within the Trust ensure Information Governance. Our mobile clinics use N3 connectivity to ensure the safe transfer of diagnostic information. In outreach clinics where network connection is difficult, Cloud based technology that is NHS approved can be used to transfer diagnostic data.
