Bedford Installation
Bedford Hospital X-ray Department Welcomes the New Camargue HQ General Radiography Equipment from MedImaging Ltd Bedford Hospital NHS Trust has been providing excellent healthcare services to people living in and around Bedford for over 200 years. They are proud of their history and heritage but are also keen to embrace changes that will be of benefit to both staff and patients. With this in mind a new plain X-ray room in the main department opened fully in December 2008 offering general computerised radiography for both in-patients and out-patients. As well as providing the latest in General X-ray equipment for use with CR, Med Imaging provided a full turnkey solution for the rebuild of both the general radiography and the dental X-ray rooms. This also included the relocation of equipment to another room and the loan of the latest Flat Panel OPG system in order to ensure that Bedford Hospital had continuity of service during the build period.This latest arrangement of the Camargue HQ is the first to incorporate a patient hoist into the main overhead rails and so eliminate the need to find storage for conventional floor standing hoists. This arrangement also provides more comfortable and easier access for both patient and operator when transferring patients from say wheelchairs and helps to further reduce manual handling by the operator.Proud to be a core department of Bedford Hospital NHS Trust they offer a wide range of examinations (scans and X-rays) for both NHS and private patients. Thank you to Carole Darnell (Radiology Manager) for the kind commentsJust wanted to say thanks for the applications training on Wednesday, all going great. We are really impressed here at Bedford Hospital NHS Trust with the Room 1 project which has been almost seamless from the 1st stage to the last and I personally did appreciate you stepping in at very short notice to re-install the dental equipment when we had problems and also the flexibility shown in accommodating our little needs (hoist and chest stand).
