Surrey Cancer Network

Alliance Medical has pioneered the introduction of PET-CT in the UK, installing the first scanner 12 years ago and subsequently partnering with NHS organisations around the UK, sharing knowledge, promoting best practice and providing end-to-end flexible clinical solutions and innovative funding options. One such example is at Guildford Diagnostic Unit at Royal Surrey County hospital which combines both a PET-CT service and a MRI service in a purpose built unit.

Our role in this partnership is to support the NHS in their drive to achieve clinical excellence through imaging services and often this means providing flexible funding options so that NHS funds are not locked up as capital in equipment and premises. To achieve this, we developed a service model to reflect the needs of the Trust, structured to match their clinical and financial requirements.  

Alliance Medical provides a standardised approach of funding equipment, flexible resourcing which has resulted in cost-savings to the NHS within a framework of increased quality and patient access.
