As echocardiography waiting lists continue to surge across the country (source: NHS England) and the recruitment and retention of specialist staff becomes increasingly challenging, NHS cardiology departments are facing unprecedented pressures. These challenges require innovative solutions that address both patient backlogs and the delivery of high-quality care.
Our Elective Cardiology Insourcing Model
That's why we've developed our Cardiology Insourcing model, specifically designed to relieve waiting list pressures and improve efficiency in NHS cardiology services, with a strong focus on echocardiography. Supported by robust Clinical Governance and compliant with National Clinical Insourcing Frameworks, our model draws on a wide network of BSE accredited echocardiography specialists to address diagnostic backlogs and help your department meet its waiting list targets.
Our insourcing model is tailored to your department's needs, whether you require a single echocardiographer or a full multidisciplinary team, including Consultant Cardiologists, Echocardiographers, Nurses, and support staff. The service can be deployed for weekend or evening clinics, or to increase midweek capacity. Being Framework approved, it is competitively priced against tariff, helping you manage your budget effectively while addressing your echocardiography backlog. Our teams typically work long days, maximizing the number of echocardiograms performed and making significant progress in reducing your RTT pressure.
Boost clinical capacity,
reduce wait times,
treat more patients.
Our Echocardiography Insourcing service is fully compliant with national clinical standards, ensuring all procedures meet or exceed best practice guidelines. Our teams are trained to maintain clinical excellence while delivering a high volume of echocardiograms, ensuring that quality, safety, and patient outcomes remain a priority. By partnering with us, your cardiology service will benefit from a model that supports continuous improvement, reduces backlogs, and ensures that both RTT and waiting list targets are met.
We can rapidly deploy our Echocardiography Insourcing Team(s) into your Trust, working alongside your existing team or independently over evenings and weekends to reduce backlogs. In a standard 8:00-18:00 session, each clinician can carry out up to 10 echocardiograms, therefore quickly reducing RTT backlogs. Multiple teams or rooms can be utilised to scale the service and further accelerate backlog clearance.
Our service is supplied through the NHS National Frameworks, so is priced against tariff ensuring the Trust receives the best value. With financial penalties for breaching the 52-week RTT waiting time, our echocardiography insourcing service not only improves patient care but also helps avoid costly fines, saving the Trust money while delivering better outcomes for patients.
