“It’s all very easy to fit around your lifestyle. What’s great is you’re working in your own home. I work in my study but I can have lunch with my wife or children, go and make myself a cup of tea, and at the end of the day I can close the door and switch off. The setup and flexibility has meant that I am able to spend more time with my family.”

Flexible working...

“It’s a great lifestyle choice, I didn’t want to be one of those people who was going to be running around 24/7 or having to make the tough decision between family or work commitments. It’s still work but it’s work that is a lot more flexible. For example, I don’t wake up particularly early which is nice, I like to get up and get a cup of coffee before I start working from home.”

Dr Sarah Burnett

Consultant Radiologist - 4ways reporting Radiologist since 2005

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

Immediate support...

“Instead of driving to an NHS hospital every day, I found that I was saving commuting time of around 2 to 3 hours daily, which I could spend instead relaxing… The team is good and they’re very approachable. They fix problems if you have them and they’ve got a good backup for their computers so IT issues are always dealt with immediately.”

Dr Permjit Rangi

Consultant Radiologist - 4ways reporting Radiologist since 2008

Total control...

“Because there is no pressure to commit to the work it means that you can work safely. The most dangerous thing with teleradiology is because of the high volumes it’s very easy to become a slave to your workstation. With 4ways they make it very clear that if you can’t report it’s easy to get in touch and get it reassigned. You’re totally in control which I like.”

Dr William Mukonoweshuro

Consultant Neuroradiologist - 4ways reporting Radiologist since 2012

Radiologist-Centric...

“It’s a breath of fresh air to work with such a radiologist-centric company. 4ways lets me control how much work I want to do within my speciality and offers flexibility around when I can deliver it. The admin team is always friendly and flexible even if you can’t make your own deadlines and reporting from a single well supported RIS/PACS is very straightforward.”

Dr Adrian Tang

Consultant Radiologist - 4ways reporting Radiologist since 2020

A chance to reflect and learn...

“I liked the idea of having another outlet for my reporting, but not a restrictive commitment so I could fit it around my family and work commitments. It was so easy to set up, the support and speed of assistance from 4ways is superb. It also gives me a chance to experience how other institutions work and a range of reporting styles providing a chance to reflect and learn oneself.”

FAQs

We’re here when you need us, in the meantime here are our top FAQs. 

Can I join through my limited company?

Yes, you can either join us as an individual or through your limited company. We can make payments into your company account as long as you are the only radiologist reporting for that company.

What internet speed is required?

A minimum speed of 10MBPS is recommended– we don’t require setting up a separate line, we simply use the internet you currently have.

What is the minimum commitment for joining?

We don’t specify any minimum number of hours/cases to be reported on a weekly basis. All we ask is that you are reporting on an ongoing basis, as long as it’s worthwhile for yourself it’s fine by us. We appreciate some weeks may be busier than others, so can scale up/down your allocation at short notice as required.

Will I receive a workstation at home or do I need to come to a hub?

The 4ways model is based solely on flexible remote reporting from home. We set-up a complete diagnostic workstation at your home which you have access to 24/7, this gives complete flexibility to report as and when you have free time.

Do I need to insure the workstation?

There’s no need for you to take out additional home/contents insurance for the 4ways workstation as it’s covered under our insurance.

Can I work from outside the UK?

We require all of our radiologists to be based in the UK and cannot allow any reporting to be done overseas.

Do I need to amend my indemnity?

We require you to inform your indemnity provider that you are engaging in this teleradiology work which is considered to be private work.

Do you provide any training or CPD events?

4ways organises three Clinical Quality Assurance meetings a year, these events are usually held at a local hotel in the Hemel Hempstead/Watford area. Radiologists are encouraged to attend in person, however if that isn’t possible you are also able to join the session via Webinar. 3 CPD points are awarded following attendance of these meetings.

Do you provide bespoke allocation?

Yes, 4ways has a dedicated Radiology Management team who you’ll be in touch with on a regular basis regarding allocation of work. This team will have sight of your area of expertise so you will only see the cases on your worklist that you have advised us you’re happy to report.

What is your quality assurance process?

4ways has a dedicated Quality & Audit team who manage our routine audits that go on in the background and commence from the day you start with us. We audit 10% of all cross-sectional work & 2% of plain film. The audits are picked up randomly and are sent to our separate panel of auditors anonymously. This audit data is then made available to you should you wish to include it in your annual Trust appraisal.
