Feedback Medical has been providing PACS technology and support to the Trust for over 15 years. The company said the new agreement will provide continued support for the existing systems and data management and will ensure a smooth transition and continuity of service as the Trust moves to the new Papworth Hospital.

David Crabb, chief executive officer of Feedback, said: “The development of the new site and facilities is an exciting new chapter in the history of the world-leading expertise of Royal Papworth Hospital and we are pleased to be part of this journey.”

The company said Cadran is installed in a number of NHS sites in the East of England and represents an unseen but vital part of medical imaging, allowing scans to be easily stored, retrieved and analysed by medical practitioners to better diagnose disease and assess patient management.
