Nuffield improves breast screening service across the UK

At Nuffield Health Derby Hospital are professional head of mammography and laser safety Sue Oliver, team leader and receptionist Lisa Hind, lead oncology nurse Julie Little, matron Alison Bain, deputy radiology manager Sue Mozley, radiology manager Glenda Bwema and mammographer Agness Tembo.

As part of its investment programme, not-for-profit healthcare provider Nufield Health has improved its breast screening service with a technology refresh which includes six systems from Siemens Healthineers.  The Mammomat Inspiration mammography systems are being used at Nuffield Health sites in Woking, Derby, Leicester, Oxford, Cardiff and Hereford.

Nuffield Health professional head of mammography and laser safety Sue Oliver said: “Going for a breast screening test can be a daunting experience.  The patient is at the heart of everything we do and we endeavour to make it as much of a comfortable experience as possible.  The Mammomat Inspirations have had a significant impact on the way we screen patients, as the design ensures maximum comfort.

“Some of the hospitals have also opted for mood lighting which has helped patients to relax during appointments.”
