Whittington cuts fixed costs and financial risk

News

Asteral technical director Stephen Hodgson and operations director David Cook with the Whittington’s associate medical director Dr Caroline Allum, Asteral business development director Sean Williams, consultant radiologist Dr David Grant and IM&T consultant, Whittington Glenn Winteringham.

 

The Whittington Hospital NHS Trust’s partnership with Asteral was put under the spotlight when the trust hosted an open day for 32 other NHS trusts to learn how they too could benefit.
