Transition to Canon Medical Systems is complete

The Canon Medical Systems UK Management team: Director of MES Ian Watson, chief financial officer Graham Little, director, service, and technical support Paul Parsons and UK managing director Mark Hitchman.

The transition of Toshiba Medical Systems to Canon Medical Systems UK is complete and along with the name change comes fresh energy, greater access to innovations and an expanding portfolio of world class imaging systems, states the company.

The UK team will continue to support NHS and private healthcare institutions with products and services and, as part of Canon Medical Systems Corporation, will be able to further its support of imaging professionals and management facing challenges from increasing imaging demand, skills shortages and budget constraints.

“It’s a new name, but it’s the same great people, world-class service, innovative solutions and a shared philosophy,” said UK managing director Mark Hitchman.  “The patient is still at the heart of what we do, but as part of a larger organisation we can gain access to greater research and development opportunities to power innovation.  It seems apt that the same year that the NHS has its 70th birthday, we transition to be part of a global institution with a 100-year history and commitment to improving quality of life.”
