A £multi-million refit for Alderney

Mignot Memorial Hospital on Alderney, the third largest of the Channel Islands, has installed a Multix Top analogue x-ray system from Siemens Healthcare.  The installation marks the final phase of a multi-million pound development to extend and refurbish the hospital, which provides healthcare services to Alderney’s 2,300 population.

Replacing a 14-year old x-ray system, the Multix Top is being used for all general radiography requirements at the hospital, including GP referrals and emergency patients. 

The ergonomic design of the ceiling-mounted x-ray system enables radiographers to access patients from all sides of the table.  Examinations can also be carried out from head-to-toe without the need for repositioning.
