Improving performance at Imperial College

Since moving to iM-Med there are no worries over equipment and performance in the endoscope reprocessing units at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.

Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust’s endoscope reprocessing units (ERUs) moved their maintenance, testing and validation contract to iM-Med to address issues experienced previously.
