Birmingham’s City Hospital breast screening unit has taken delivery of an Akrus mammography chair from Wolverson X-ray Limited. This was the first of two chairs bought by Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust, with the other one going to the breast unit at Walsall Manor Hospital.
Programme manager Pat Bennett said: “The staff are delighted with the equipment as it is compact, user friendly and aesthetically pleasing. Patients find the positioning of the arm when lying down much more comfortable and we call it the ‘Rolls Royce’ of chairs.”
