Medica provides reporting capacity to cut diagnostic waiting times across radiology services

Medica will highlight how it supports NHS trusts and independent healthcare providers with clinically-led diagnostic reporting services designed to fit within existing ways of working, helping to reduce reporting delays and improve turnaround times.

The company says that, for many radiology teams, the pressure is constant. Rising demand, a limited workforce and diffi cult prioritisation decisions are part of everyday reality. These challenges are not just operational; they lead to delays in diagnosis and treatment for patients, as timelines across services continue to stretch.

Working in partnership with organisations, Medica provides additional reporting capacity where demand and urgency are greatest, including its acute NightHawk service. Delivering over 2.5 million examinations each year, this support helps maintain time sensitive patient pathways and manage sustained pressure on imaging services, delivering measurable improvements without adding operational burden to local teams.

Medica encourages the responsible use of AI to improve workflow efficiency and prioritisation, underpinned by strong clinical governance and clear human oversight. “Used appropriately, AI can help services manage rising demand, while clinical decision making remains with experienced professionals,” the company says. “All Medica services are delivered with consultant-led oversight and robust governance frameworks, with patient safety at the centre.”

Alongside service delivery, Medica also supports longer term capability through Educate by Medica, providing CPD accredited courses for clinicians and healthcare leaders to help teams strengthen pathways and adapt to ongoing demand.
