InHealth sees more than 5 million patients each year and diagnostic imaging is one of the busiest services that we provide.
Following the Michael Richards report, in which it was highlighted that diagnostic services should be delivered taking a new approach to provide more accessibility to people in the community away from acute settings, we at InHealth are excited to be partnering with the NHS to develop new Community Diagnostic Centres to support this vison.
Following this we are delighted to be opening a new Community Diagnostic Centre in Redruth, Cornwall later in 2025, and are actively recruiting now to build a passionate and dedicated team.
