Nuffield Diagnostics
NHS Organisations
A cost-effective, reliable diagnostics partner
Nuffield Hospitals was established as a not-for-profit organisation and a registered charity in 1957 and has been providing high quality healthcare services to local communities ever since. In 2005 and 2006, we treated more than 108,000 NHS referred patients.
In September 2006, in recognition of the innovative work that Nuffield Hospitals has carried out to ensure we can treat an increased number of NHS referred patients, we were named as the best independent UK healthcare provider in the Laing & Buisson Independent Healthcare Awards.
In December 2006, we became the first independent sector healthcare provider to go live on the NHS Choose and Book system.
Tom Denwood, Programme Head, Choose and Book, NHS Connecting for Health, said: “Nuffield Hospitals has trail-blazed the implementaton of Choose and Book in the independent sector. NHS Connecting for Health has been impressed with the way in which the organisation has tackled challenges positively and always with the interest of patients at the heart of their work”.
Now, with Nuffield Diagnostics, we are doing it again - offering a nationwide service based in 31 locations, all backed with £50 million of investment in new Imaging and Pathology technology.
This reflects our mission, to reinvest our entire surplus back into improved health services such as:
- state-of-the-art equipment and infrastructure
- information and training to ensure our staff have the latest information and are fully trained about the latest diagnostic techniques
- mobile facilities so that we can provide more people with excellent healthcare services
This is part of our unique social contract with family doctors and the NHS and why “the Nuffield” is a trusted healthcare organisation in local communities throughout Britain.
