Mobile Medical Diagnostics
Our service works in two ways:
1. On Demand X-ray Service
How it works?
Our service prevents avoidable hospital transfers by transporting our mobile X-ray machine and our CORU registered radiographer to the client. Our service is an excellent fit for nursing homes, homecare providers and prisons.
Example projects
- We perform X-rays for nursing home clients on a when needed basis
- We provide a bespoke in-house radiology department for NH groups
- We provide X-rays for patients within their own home
- We can provide X-rays for patients in prisons and other institutions where patient transfer is less amenable
Example clinical pathway - nursing home
1. Resident’s GP requests a mobile X-ray
2. Nursing home calls Mobile Medical Diagnostics
3. Radiographer takes X-ray in comfort of the resident’s own room
4. Consultant radiologist report sent to GP + nursing home typically within 3 hours
5. Agreed treatment plan is implemented

2. On-site X-ray Department
How it works?
Instead of having a fixed asset and dedicated team on-site daily, being potentially underutilised, we provide a flexible alternative option. Our service provides an on-site X-ray department including equipment and staff to primary care centres, hospitals and healthcare providers nationwide for a pre-determined period.
Example projects
We provide a flexible option that can be tailored to the needs of our clients, including:
- Recurring set day(s) per week arrangement in hospitals, primary care or community healthcare facilities
- Specific set times per month in hospitals, primary care or community healthcare facilities
- Ad hoc half-day/day requirements in hospitals, primary care or community healthcare facilities
- Supporting virtual and physical off-site outpatient clinics
- Supporting medical centres at festivals, music and sports events
NOTE: 7 days a week and out of hours options available
The benefits of our service
- Quicker access to diagnostics for your residents/patients
- A material reduction in Emergency Department attendances and hospital transfers for your residents/ patients
- Better clinical outcomes through earlier diagnosis allowing a treatment plan to be put in place without requiring a trip to the hospital
- Improved patient and clinical experience
- A differentiator for nursing homes, primary centres, events companies and other healthcare facilities
