A collaborative approach...
“4ways have always taken a very collaborative approach and have helped us come up with new solutions to deliver the best possible outcomes for our patients. It’s a great partnership and we’ve come to depend on the services they provide.”
Jim Weir
General Manager, Clinical Support Services - Kingston Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
A valuable learning tool...
“4ways’ quality processes and clinical auditing services are incredibly valuable and a great learning tool to improve. Additionally, if you’re still working in the NHS or you’re doing teleradiology full time, it’s one of the best pieces of evidence that you have at your annual appraisal and consequently your revalidation so that’s incredibly helpful.”
Dr Mark Cowling
Consultant Vascular Radiologist - 4ways reporting Radiologist since 2012
Improved bed flow...
“We started using 4ways’ weekend daytime urgent MRI reporting service in June 2019 and continue to use this at both acute hospital sites. This has had a notable impact on both the management of inpatients through the MRI service and bed flow within the organisation. The positive impact on the availability of stroke beds was noted by our colleagues in Medicine and Emergency care. ”
