Nuffield Health and GE HealthCare have announced a £200mn collaboration, which will equip Nuffield Health’s hospitals with the latest diagnostic imaging technology from GE HealthCare. With access to innovative AI-enabled systems designed to help overcome some of the biggest challenges in healthcare, the collaboration will support Nuffield Health’s ambition to deliver an industry-leading diagnostic service in the UK. It is also underpinned by a shared commitment to sustainable healthcare, incorporating ongoing upgrades to energy-efficient technology as it evolves.
Through the 20-year Managed Equipment Service (MES) agreement, GE HealthCare will take responsibility for the ongoing acquisition, installation, maintenance and staff training for medical technology utilised by Nuffield Health. The technologies and solutions within the agreement are aimed at providing the best possible care for patients and improving efficiencies for clinicians and other staff for years to come.
In 2025 more than 100 devices are scheduled for delivery across Nuffield Health’s national network of hospitals. Nearly 800 pieces of equipment are expected to be delivered over the course of the collaboration across imaging, ultrasound, surgery and x-ray.
Alex Perry, CEO of Nuffield Health, commented: “GE HealthCare is a leader in medical technology, diagnostics and digital solutions, with more AI-assisted technology than any other supplier. Healthcare in the UK requires not only investment, but also innovation, making this a transformational partnership. With ongoing technology upgrades over the 20-year span of our agreement, our talented teams will have access to the innovative tools and technology, enabling them to deliver the highest standard of care to patients.”
