Our reporting service is designed to align directly with the core pillars of The National Cancer Strategy, ensuring that increased testing capacity translates into faster treatment decisions.
Supporting 12/7 operations and surge capacity
The government expects as many CDCs as possible to be fully operational 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. This extended schedule places significant pressure on traditional hospital reporting rotas to match the continuous flow of imaging data.
How we can help
- We provide teleradiology capacity that specifically mirrors CDC opening times to ensure diagnostic momentum.
- By offering flexible reporting cover beyond standard hours, we help trusts protect 62- and 28-day cancer standards.
- Whether you are managing seasonal surges or the daily peaks of a high-throughput CDC, our service acts as a reliable growth vector for your diagnostic capacity.
- Estates and staffing models should be sized for continuous flow, and our scalable reporting network provides that essential support.
Meeting the demand for straight-to-test pathways
A key shift in the new plan is the move toward straight-to-test imaging to cut unnecessary appointments. As patients bypass intermediate clinics, radiology becomes the primary gateway for suspected cancer pathways, requiring robust vetting and rapid turnaround.
How we can help
- Our service provides the same-day or next-day reporting necessary for 2-week-wait (2WW) equivalent pathways.
- Every report is authored by GMC specialist register, FRCR consultants with a minimum of 2 years post-fellowship experience.
- Our 24 to 48 hour turnaround for routine work ensures that even high-volume scans do not stall the diagnostic pathway.
- By providing MDT-ready outputs, we ensure that radiology results lead directly to the next stage of patient care.
Expert reporting for national screening programmes
The national rollout of the lung cancer screening programme by 2030 will materially increase CT volumes, particularly low-dose CT (LDCT). These pathways require specialized protocols and structured reporting standards for nodule tracking.
How we can help
- We support these screening expansions by providing pathway-specific templates that support fast treatment decisions.
- Our reports align with national requirements for LDCT and integrate with thoracic MDT services.
- This structured approach ensures that early diagnosis gains are captured efficiently to improve survival outcomes.
Seamless technical and AI integration
Innovation is one of the plan's "five big bets" for transforming the care pathway. As CDCs adopt AI-enabled workflow and triage, reporting partners must be technically interoperable to maximize the value of these tools.
How we can help
- Our one-to-many technical integration is built for this future, allowing for straightforward onboarding and scaling.
- We are prepared to ingest AI flags from trust systems and return structured, auditable reports directly into EPRs and performance dashboards.
- This reduces the administrative burden on your staff and ensures that the most urgent cases are prioritized through algorithmic triage.
A partnership for elective recovery
The expansion of the community diagnostic estate is the key to unlocking further improvements in cancer survival. By partnering with a reporting service that understands the scale, speed, and technical requirements of the National Cancer Plan, CDCs can focus on what they do best: providing accessible, high-quality care to their communities.
