Manoeuvrable scanner is a bonus for Sandyford Clinic

Specialist sexual health nurse Helen Nixon, specialty doctor in sexual and reproductive health Dr Joanna McCabe, consultant in sexual and reproductive healthcare Dr Audrey Brown and specialist sexual health nurses Martha Kirby and Kirsten Cameron.

Sandyford Clinic in Glasgow has installed two Xario 100 ultrasound systems from Toshiba Medical Systems.  As part of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, the clinic provides a range of sexual, reproductive and emotional health support through a main clinic and nine community hubs.

Consultant in sexual and reproductive healthcare Dr Audrey Brown said: “We selected the Xario system because the clinic already uses a Toshiba Aplio system and has been very happy with it.  Staff are familiar with the Aplio machine and could start using the systems easily.

“It is lightweight with a small footprint and can be moved to the patient when required.  We were fortunate enough to be funded to purchase two scanners which have enabled us to allocate a clinical room with ultrasound to each team member.  Some of our patients wish to view their scan, so the manoeuvrability of the screen is a bonus.”
