Medical technical officer Mary Adams said: “I have been here nearly 11 years and in that time have found Vertec to be friendly and helpful.  From the office staff to management, I am always spoken to like an old friend.  Most problems are dealt with over the phone or an engineer will call in a few days.”

Julie Smith said: “The addition of the scanner reinforces our ability to provide an effective and efficient bone scanning service to our patients, facilitating increased capacity, that in turn delivers increased activity.”
