National PET/CT contract
NHS England has selected a Collaborative Network, led by Alliance Medical, to provide PET/CT scanning services across 30 locations in England. Alliance Medical will work collaboratively with the NHS to provide seamless, embedded services which ensure greater equity of access for all patients and a speedier more streamlined pathway from referral to treatment and outcomes.
As part of the contract, Alliance Medical will invest over £80 million over the life of the contract to improve the current infrastructure. We are also increasing the number of sites at which PET/CT services are delivered. These pledges demonstrate Alliance Medical’s support for NHS England’s objective to optimise equity in patient access and reduce geographical variability in the quality of PET/CT infrastructures.
In addition to scanning services the collaborative network will also provide first class training and education for radiologists, technologists and radiographers through a School of Oncology provided by The Christie NHS Foundation Trust whilst also supporting an increase in the number of clinical research trials.
A full list of these sites and where you can receive a PET/CT scan in your locality can be found below.
