The Neurophysiology department at New Cross Hospital, part of the Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, faced mounting pressure as the Trust expanded its clinical services into new areas. This growth led to a sharp increase in referrals for EMG and EEG diagnostics. Consultant leave, high demand and the need to maintain short waiting times created capacity challenges that risked impacting patient care.
“We have worked with MediServices for over 12 months and developed a close working partnership with both the visiting neurophysiologists and healthcare assistants. Their professionalism and commitment have enabled us to maintain waiting times and provide patients with a first-rate service.
Patients have nothing but praise for MediServices personnel, complimenting their kindness and ability to make them feel at ease. Reports have been concise and completed quickly, with referring clinicians happy with the studies performed.”
Stephanie Collins, Assistant Manager, Neurophysiology Department
