The RNOH is the first Trust in the ImageWise programme's Wave 1 to adopt the new Sectra PACS solution, setting a precedent for more integrated imaging services across participating NHS Trusts. This essential system enables clinical teams to securely access, review, and manage medical images like X-rays and scans, providing an updated digital platform to support the hospital's specialist services.
Following extensive planning, testing, and migration, the new system went live after successful end-to-end testing and clinical acceptance. Support has been provided to colleagues across X-ray, the Imaging Centre, Scanning Centre, and Theatres as they adapt to the new platform. Radiologists, radiographers, and other clinical staff have logged in successfully, with initial feedback indicating a smooth transition.
Most imaging modalities and scanners are functioning as expected, while technical teams address a small number of image intensifiers in Theatres. This launch represents months of preparation and collaboration, a crucial first step in the ImageWise journey towards connected imaging services.
The hospital extended thanks to all involved, including the RNOH, the ImageWise Programme Team, Sectra, and partner organisations, especially clinical colleagues for their engagement and support. By investing in modern digital infrastructure and collaboration, RNOH continues to enhance its technology for specialist clinical services and high-quality patient care.
