Securing funding for and delivering a new digital X-ray facility

QVMH needed a new X-ray facility, but to accommodate the new machinery the existing space needed to be extensively re-modelled. NHS Property Services worked with the radiology team to decide on the specifications of the machine required and the budget for the project delivery. A presentation of the costs and benefits was made to the hospital's League of Friends, who approved the funding required, securing the sum of £357,000. 

During the 12-week term of the project, we ensured there was a temporary mobile X-ray service on site to maintain continuity of the service. 

The new digital X-ray facility opened in December 2018, enabling better quality imaging with a faster turnaround and the ability to see a greater variety of patients.

“This new X-ray department will ensure patients receive the best possible care at QVMH with brand new state of the art X-ray equipment. We are extremely grateful to the good work and generosity of all those at the League of Friends for providing the vital funds that allowed this work.”

Colin Fell, Chief Radiographer at QVMH
