OMRIA observed that the UK has a strong appetite to implement remote scanning

According to medical technology company OMRIA, one conversation dominated all others over the three-day event: “Our CEO Maximilian Schaber and our CIO Samuel Oliveira spent UKIO 2026 in dialogue with dozens of imaging leaders, radiographers, managers, educators and healthcare innovators from across the UK. And from booth to corridor, one message came through loud and clear: the UK is ready for remote scanning. Not just curious about it. Not just exploring it. Ready to implement it.”

The company believes that whether the driver is education and training, clinical support, workforce challenges, service expansion or improving patient access, the appetite has never been stronger.

“What struck us most was how many NHS and private organisations already grasp the potential; they have seen the results, understood the technology and are actively working to bring it into their departments, even with bureaucracy staring them down.

“That’s exactly where OMRIA comes in. Through our global network of expert MRI professionals, we help organisations unlock the full potential of remote scanning, by scaling services, supporting staff, strengthening the workforce and ultimately delivering the best possible care to patients.”
