The value of effective diagnostics has been underscored by the pandemic. But so too have the challenges facing the field – pre-March 2020 issues including workforce issues, a need for even greater digitisation, and how best to collaborate such that services are as efficient as possible.
To consider such obstacles – and how to overcome them – HSJ recently organised a virtual roundtable. Run in association with CliniSys, it brought together a select panel to consider just how the NHS might deliver even more efficient diagnostic services.
