A Passion for Quality
Our clients trust us with one of the most fundamental parts of their service and reporting accuracy is vital to that trust. It’s why we’re so passionate about quality.
We audit as standard at a higher rate than other UK providers (≥10% cross-sectional and ≥2% of plain film) for every client and every radiologist we work with(3). Audit underpins everything we do and is our quality assurance guarantee to you.
Flexible Teleradiology Services
We understand that no two weeks will ever be the same and from time to time your reporting requirements change. Unlike some of our competitors, we don’t impose any minimum volumes or frequencies. We also offer the widest range of specialisms and super specialisms of any UK provider(2).
Offering clients a flexible, supportive service is one of our founding principles. We’re here for you when you need us, for as much as you need us, day or night, all year round.
A Trusted Partner
We believe in being a trusted partner to all of our clients. As a clinically led organisation, we never put commercial interests ahead of your clinical objectives or needs.
That’s why we only ever use UK based, GMC registered, FRCR consultant radiologists. Your patient data never leaves the UK and is reported by consultants with intimate knowledge of the reporting procedures and standards commonplace to the NHS.

A great partner...
“4ways is a great partner to work with – our day-to-day contacts are super responsive and where we have needed further support 4ways is always readily available to help. We like the fact that 4ways has a robust audit programme with a clear focus of being clinically led.”
Catherine Walsh
Divisional Director of Imaging - Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust
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. ”

Having the ability to send work to the 4Ways team at the touch of a button, means that unforeseen demands on the in-house radiology services or periods of staff absence and sickness can be dealt with easily and confidently. Clinical governance mechanisms are robust and transparent and any queries are dealt with efficiently and professionally.”

“4ways operate within tight service level agreements and reports are turned around in a good time frame. Reporting capacity is frequently shared and 4ways regularly produces data regarding audits of their work and are transparent with their findings. They provide an excellent out of hours service for CT scanning turning urgent head scan reports around in less than 20 minutes.”
