Barnet and Chase invests in ultrasound systems

At the handover of one of the scanners purchased by Barnet and Chase Farm Hospitals NHS Trust is Toshiba Medical Systems ultrasound sales specialist David Sayer with Barnet Hospital senior sonographer Roxanne Sicklen.

Barnet and Chase Farm Hospitals NHS Trust has invested in five Toshiba ultrasound systems for three sites in the Borough of Barnet.

Edgware Community Hospital upgraded its ultrasound facilities with two replacement systems and a third scanner was supplied to Potters Bar Community Hospital also as a replacement.   The remaining two are new systems at Barnet Hospital.

Barnet’s clinical ultrasound manager Karen Hammett said: “We selected the Aplios for their outstanding image quality and ease-of-use.  They were purchased to cover obstetrics, gynaecology, plus abdominal and small parts imaging.”
