Today we are announcing a new and exciting partnership between Apollo Radiology International (ARI) and InHealth. This partnership will bring together InHealth’s teleradiology service with ARI’s to form a new, global offering.
ARI, a venture of Apollo Hospitals Group, Asia’s foremost integrated healthcare services provider, will report over 2 million scans across the UK and 20 other countries over the next two years. A trailblazer in AI-powered radiology, ARI has partnered with Google to tackle global health issues such as Tuberculosis. With plans to expand its use of advanced medical imaging technologies, ARI is setting new standards for patient care. As a global exam delivery partner of The Royal College of Radiologists and a recruitment partner of NHS England, ARI also plays a key role in training and accrediting radiologists for the NHS.
InHealth is the UK’s largest provider of diagnostic and screening services and, in partnership with its network of over 50 Radiologists, provides teleradiology reporting services to many of its NHS partners. This collaboration with ARI will allow InHealth to expand the number of NHS Trusts it can support in delivering this much needed service, while also introducing a wider range of services and technological advancements.
Quality is at the centre of all ARI and InHealth services. All ARI Consultant Radiologists providing services to the NHS will continue to be UK-experienced with FRCR and GMC Specialist Registration in Clinical Radiology and existing, stringent peer review standards will be maintained. ARI’s strong focus on Clinical Governance is overseen by ARI’s Clinical Leadership Council.
This partnership positions ARI and InHealth to play a leading role in the future of tele-radiology within the UK healthcare system. We are committed to providing exceptional service, leveraging the combined expertise of InHealth and ARI to deliver the best possible care for patients.
Dr Sreenivasa Raju Kalidindi, Group CEO and Medical Director for ARI said: “We are excited about this partnership between ARI and InHealth, which reinforces our steadfast commitment to excellence and innovation in radiology services. At ARI, we remain dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of clinical governance, supervised by our distinguished Clinical Leadership Council, which is comprised of eminent radiologists and healthcare professionals. This council will oversee and support every aspect of our service to ensure compliance with the stringent quality standards required by the NHS Trusts and other global healthcare partners. Together, we are uniquely positioned to address the global shortage of radiologists while upholding the highest quality of service”.
Geoff Searle, CEO of InHealth, said: “InHealth is delighted to be partnering with ARI. Both organisations share an approach which puts quality at the heart of all our services. We are particularly excited about the opportunity this brings to support our NHS partners in addressing the shortage of Radiologists, not only through offering an expanded teleradiology service but through a suite of technological innovations that are now possible through working with ARI.”
