Bournemouth footballers mark next step in renovations

Nuffield Health Bournemouth Hospital director David McNair, AFC Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe, Alliance Medical md Keith Search, clinical assistant Fiona Higgins, radiology manager Marie Helps, consultant radiologist Dr Jeremy Small, MRI unit manager Penny Wilkins and AFC Bournemouth footballers Shaun Macdonald and Josh McQuoid.
AFC Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe helped Nuffield Health Bournemouth unveil the latest stage of an ongoing £11 million investment plan, following the installation of a Siemens Magnetom Aera 1.5T MRI scanner.
Alliance Medical worked with the hospital, which had previously been serviced by a mobile unit, to deliver the upgrade to its diagnostic service. Equipment that would increase the department’s diagnostic productivity was chosen, in order to help meet future demand, and it can now carry out up to 50 per cent more examinations a week, with scope for more in the future.
