St Joseph’s Hospital radiology team shortlisted for independent provider award

St Joseph's Hospital team

The radiology department at St Joseph’s Hospital in Newport, Wales, has been shortlisted for the HSJ Independent Healthcare Providers Awards 2025, in recognition of the team’s advanced diagnostics facilities for cardiac patients and celebrating its innovative radiographer-led service.

As the only healthcare provider to be shortlisted in south-east Wales, the accolade follows its investment in advanced diagnostics facilities. A cutting-edge CT scanner added in 2024, the first of its kind in Wales, offers precision and speed to deliver high quality images with reduced radiation exposure.

“Through collaborative working, our radiology team provides patients with rapid and increased opportunities of detection and prevention as well as alleviating the pressure of risk stratification,” said advanced diagnostics clinical lead Rachel Davies.

“Transforming the delivery of cardiac imaging to patients is imperative for driving standards forward. The team looks forward to sharing what we are doing through education forums, as it is our desire to lead and transform patient services across the diagnostics community. We are breaking down traditional boundaries by working in partnership and empowering radiographers, and we hope this award nomination further highlights our commitment to providing excellent, patient-focused services within advanced diagnostics.”

The Health Service Journal awards showcase achievements from independent healthcare providers in fostering innovation and integration across the healthcare system.
