ISAS-mark


Since 2004, 4 Ways has been providing an innovative healthcare solution that delivers a collaborative radiology reporting service to the NHS. We have worked with more than 50 NHS organisations over a period of 5 years giving us an extensive and comprehensive understanding of the needs and procedures of radiology departments within the NHS.

At 4 Ways, we believe the importance of clinical governance cannot be overstated; it proves clinical excellence through continual assessment and improvement of clinical infrastructure and practices.

Resourcing not Outsourcing

Our carefully selected groups of sub-specialist radiologists essentially become a part of your radiology department, inputting reports directly onto your Radiology Information System (RIS). Rather than reports simply being outsourced, the Trust is externally resourcing by enhancing and increasing its reporting capacity.
