Medica and Nuffield Health have announced a diagnostics partnership which they claim will create the largest remote radiology reporting network in the UK. Nuffield Health Diagnostics said that the agreement has the potential to deliver substantial benefits to the NHS and independent healthcare sector through reduced cost and increased availability of services across all the major modalities. Under the terms of the agreement, Nuffield Health Diagnostics has acquired Medica for an undisclosed sum.
The agreement was announced at UKRC, a three-day congress in Birmingham covering all aspects of diagnostic imaging and oncology, as well as radiology informatics and service delivery.
