Helena Dollimore MP visits Medica to discuss its teleradiology service and promotion of healthcare careers

Teleradiology services provider Medica welcomed Labour MP for Hastings and Rye Helena Dollimore to its Hastings headquarters in July. The visit provided an opportunity to discuss Medica’s ongoing support for the NHS and role as a local employer.

Dollimore met with members of the Medica team and toured the facility, learning more about how the company’s clinical expertise and digital infrastructure are used to deliver critical diagnostic services. She was also briefed on Medica’s outreach work with local schools, which aims to raise awareness of career opportunities in healthcare and technology for young people in the area. The visit was arranged through Medica’s membership with UK trade association AXREM.

The timing coincided with the publication of the UK Government’s 10 Year Health Plan for England, prompting discussions about the future of healthcare delivery. Medica leaders introduced Dollimore to the company’s teleradiology model, which enables hospitals across the UK to access fast radiology reporting to help reduce imaging backlogs and improve patient outcomes.

“We were delighted to welcome Helena Dollimore to our Hastings office,” said head of commercial Ben Garlick. “We are grateful for Helena’s visit; it was a valuable opportunity to share the important role we play in supporting the national healthcare system and to explore ways we can further support our nearby community as a dedicated local employer in Hastings.
