New CT and MRI scanners have been installed in a purpose-built unit at Amersham Hospital.

The unit, which is situated at the back of the hospital, will be a permanent location for patients to attend for diagnostic CT and MRI scans.

This new facility has been funded by NHS England and Targeted Lung Health Check, and it will officially open for patients from next month.

However, no exact date has been confirmed as of yet.

Andrew Wainwright, Chief Radiographer for the Trust said: “This new facility at Amersham Hospital will enable those in the South of the county to attend scans easily without having to travel to our acute hospital sites in Stoke Mandeville and Wycombe.

“It forms a key part of the Trust’s strategic aim to develop Amersham Hospital into a leading-edge diagnostic centre.”

Amersham Hospital currently has a respectable score of 4.3/5 from 59 Google Reviews, with many patients praising the ‘excellent care and kindness’ from its members of staff.
