Nuffield Health, working together with Royal Philips, has announced the opening of a state-of-the-art diagnostic suite to provide imaging and wellbeing services to the population of Manchester.  Housed at Citylabs on Oxford Street, directly opposite Central Manchester NHS Foundation Trust, the suite will make a portion of its diagnostic services available to patients referred from the NHS.  As well as increasing the number and type of diagnostic scans available, and with a focus on orthopaedics and cardiology diagnostics, the suite is part of a holistic health network in the region that aims to make more facilities available to the population and promote innovation in research.

Nuffield Health Manchester market director Barbara Baker said: “In Manchester we are seeing a real enthusiasm around the devolution agenda, which dovetails with our vision of offering a fully integrated health and wellbeing proposition.   Our suite is equipped with the latest diagnostic and imaging technology, which will serve the healthcare framework across Manchester, and our patients will benefit hugely from a more comfortable and relaxed experience.
