[Title] How our business works
We are fundamentally in the business
of diagnostic imaging.
That is to say,
we operate MRI Scanners,
CT Scanners,
PET CT Scanners,
in the main.
We also operate X-Ray and Mammography,
(not so much),
and, not so much in the UK,
but in Italy, and Germany, and a bit in Spain
we take up some of the more invasive
diagnostic imaging techniques
such as Endoscopy.
A fundamental part of our business model
is that we don't lend equipment
and finance it
for hospitals to operate.
It's an outsourced service model.
So we buy the equipment,
we install it in the hospitals
where we're operating
and we operate everything with our own staff.
So it's all our own Radiographers, our own receptionists,
our own administrative staff,
it's all our own IT systems,
although we interact with the local
IT systems of the client hospitals,
and we're probably one of the leading practitioners
of tele-medicine in the UK;
that is to say... depending
on the nature of the client
and their needs,
we can arrange to have images
taken from a single hospital, say,
and sent to another hospital
or to another country,
in order to have the images
diagnosed by a doctor.
And in fact, in a full year
we transpose over 200,000 images
to other places
in order for doctors in those other places
to do their diagnosis
and then we get the reports back
to the original clients.
Quite a complex IT -
IT is mission critical to our business -
and we're a leading exponent
in radiology of telemedicine.
