Nuffield Health invests in smarter care

A healthcare provider is investing in advanced diagnostic and surgical technologies.

Nuffield Health, the country’s largest not-for-profit healthcare organisation, has enhanced its diagnostic and surgical services after receiving £1.865 million in funding from Lombard. 

Bosses say the investment has enabled the purchase of a new energy-efficient CT scanner, an endoscopy stack and a digital theatre system.

They add that Lombard’s asset finance solution has allowed the organisation to spread the cost of the equipment, supporting strong financial management and effective cash flow.

Matt Lynn, chief finance officer at Nuffield Health, said: “We are grateful to Lombard for their support and can’t thank them enough in helping us to bring this new technology to our hospitals. 

“Their partnership has enabled us to continue investing in innovations that benefit both our hospitals and the environment and will help us continue to deliver exceptional treatment to our patients.”

Nathan Harrod, corporate relationship director at Lombard, added: “It’s been a pleasure to help Nuffield Health improve its diagnostics for patients and be more energy efficient while doing so. 

“The business has been providing fantastic care for patients since 1957 and is continuing to make improvements to services with investment in advanced technologies.

“At Lombard we understand that having access to the latest healthcare technology is crucial to improving quality of care and patient outcomes. 

“Our deep sector expertise and knowledge allows us to tailor medical finance packages to the needs of healthcare providers, giving them access to the latest equipment simply and affordably – so they can continue to provide exceptional care.”

The CT scanner, at Parkside Hospital, in London, is designed to provide faster, more accurate imaging for patients while also reducing the hospital’s energy costs. 

Meanwhile, the endoscopy stack, at Nuffield's Bournemouth ospital, and the digital theatre system, at its Brighton hospital, will incorporate advanced smart technologies, helping clinicians carry out safer, more efficient procedures and deliver high-quality surgical care.
