Mobile services
Flexible, cost effective mobile imaging services
Our mobile imaging services help resolve your capacity problems. We offer a bespoke service to both NHS and private sector hospitals, with vehicles, scanning equipment, staff and services ready to meet your short or long term needs.
Maybe demand for imaging is increasing, but is not yet high enough to justify a new, permanent system? Perhaps waiting lists are growing, and you need a swift solution to help clear the backlog? We work with you to provide a mobile imaging service that meets your exact requirements cost effectively, and that acts as a seamless extension to your clinical operation.

Meet rising demand for imaging
The demand for diagnostic imaging continues to increase. Advancing technology improves diagnosis and supports better patient care pathways. Best practice quickly becomes established and more uses for imaging emerge.
As demand quickly outstrips supply, hospitals can find themselves struggling to cope with lengthening waiting lists. Downtime when scanners are being maintained, repaired or replaced exacerbates the problem.
Some hospitals have no imaging department at all, but still need to access high quality diagnostic services for the benefit of their patients.
Alliance Medical's mobile imaging services can help you meet your hospital’s specific short term or long term requirements quickly, efficiently, and cost effectively.
Reduce waiting lists
Hospitals can't afford the consequences of failing to hit nationally set performance targets. Every hospital needs to avoid Department of Health financial penalties, and to protect its reputation for delivering high quality patient care. We can work with Trusts and hospitals to avoid these penalties by offering immediate capacity via mobile imaging services.
The flexibility of our mobile imaging services means that you can continuously provide a high quality service for your patients that meets standards and avoids costly penalties.
Quality matters
Alliance Medical believe in keeping in close touch with our customers and in the value of measuring and monitoring the services we provide. We always explicitly agree operational standards and any relevant KPIs with new customers at an initial site setup meeting, so we all share one view of what is required and how we will work.
Monthly reports of key performance indicators and regular review meetings to discuss patient feedback enable us to track progress together and identify any issues or opportunities as they arise.

Chris Whiteside, Head of Dept Radiology, Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust
Mobile MRI service customer for 6 years
We have used Alliance Medical for both MRI and CT with great success and we have gradually brought down our waiting lists. We recently had a problem with our Ultrasound due to our workforce and high demand. Alliance Medical have once again have come to our rescue and provided us with a Sonographer to allow us to provide additional capacity.
Like with any new service we have had teething problems such as connectivity and site breakdowns but Alliance Medical provide a robust system that allows contact to be made at the relevant level for problems to be resolved.

Mark Walker - Imaging Manager - Derriford Hospital
Mobile MRI and CT service customer for over 10 years
Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has worked in partnership with Alliance Medical for a number of years, taking MRI mobile services at Manchester Royal Infirmary and more recently Trafford General. I have always found the MRI mobile service to be safe and reliable, the mobile staff are very professional and have a warm rapport with both staff and patients and both the image quality as well as the reporting service is very good. The MRI mobile offers us much needed additional capacity and operates as a seamless extension of the Trusts Radiology service. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alliance Medical as a provider of MRI mobile services.

Alison Maw, Clinical Radiology, Manchester Royal Infirmary
Mobile MRI customer for 2 years
We have always found the Alliance Medical staff very approachable, flexible and willing to help out whenever they can. They respond quickly to any issues that arise and can often provide additional service days at short notice, if required.
Alliance Medical also undertake MRI scanning for the Trust at BMI The Somerfield Alliance MRI Centre nearby, and this service, together with the mobile MRI service at Maidstone Hospital, has provided flexible, additional scanning capacity for the Trust. I would highly recommend Alliance Medical's services to other Trusts who require additional scanning capacity.
