The opening of the new Queen Alexandra Hospital, part of Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust, involved the merging of several services from hospitals across Portsmouth. 

 

During the move, the transfer of a Magnetom Symphony MRI and two Somatom Sensation CT scanners from St Mary’s Hospital took place with the help of Siemens Healthcare.

 

In addition, a Somatom Definition AS+ Dual Source CT scanner from Siemens was also installed to carry out cardiac scans for the first time. 

 

An equipment transfer project was implemented to ensure the process ran smoothly.  Each of the system’s moves was staggered, one after the other, and delivered over a number of weeks.

 

“The whole move went smoothly,” reports Nicky Wragg, clinical CT and MRI manager at Queen Alexandra Hospital.
