At Musgrove Park Hospital are consultants Dr Jason Louis and Dr Alistair Billington with Simon Bendell of Philips Healthcare.
Musgrove Park Hospital has selected a state-of-the-art Philips Sparq ultrasound system for its emergency department. The equipment was funded by charitable donations to the hospital’s league of friends.
Consultant in emergency medicine Dr Alistair Billington said: “We required a system that produced high quality images to allow rapid decision making, but preferred a high-end system that we could grow into’, with the ability to easily perform rapid, time-critical scanning.
“We like the simplified mode, the wipe clean surface and the ability to rapidly set up temporary patients IDs. As a result we are saving a lot more images and loops for teaching and governance.”
