THE PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW
Highlighting best practice
42 | ATRUMED
should be seen as a good news story
for the private healthcare sector,
because we have been able to provide
a vital service for an overstretched
public sector department seamlessly.
Any revenue generated is invested
back into the staff and service. This
is benefiting the hospital and the
patients, which should be celebrated.
Building for a better future
Atrumed has a genuine family
environment, which is welcoming for
staff and patients alike. Despite working
with GPs on a rotational basis, they
have bought into our approach and
service quickly, and have provided vital
services to our patients. Everything we
earn is reinvested into our service and
patient care and we have ambitions to
be at the forefront of the industry in
terms of research and innovation.
Moving forward, we hope to expand
our service and create a new aspect to
our business. Currently, we believe that
there is not enough readily available
access to private blood tests, and as a
result we want to add this service as a
separate part of Atrumed.
The service will be called Atruchecks
and will enable patients to request
health screening tests and private
blood test profiles, so they can access
their health profile in detail at their
convenience. Tests can be booked
simply online and the test itself will
then be posted to patients with the
option of the blood to be drawn either
from our centre or from an established
network of private hospitals in the UK;
alternatively, they can opt to have a
nurse sent to theirhome.
Our service offers patients a choice
of private but affordable healthcare
screening, and we believe this model
will soon become national practice.
Healthcare is changing and evolving
at a rapid pace and we want to be
at the centre of this innovation, with
potential diversification into the beauty
and genomics sector.
Regardless of the direction our
expansion takes, we want to excel
and become the national model for
excellence. We have achieved this
by enabling Luton and Dunstable
to become the best A&E service in
the country, but we now hope to
build on this success and become
national leaders elsewhere. Funding
is tight, and we need to work within
our means, but because we operate
a quality-driven model, we reinvest
in quality service. We are built to
serve our patients and the Luton and
Dunstable University Hospital, and we
will continue to do so as we develop
our new services.
We are keen
to engage
with NHS and
healthcare
organisations
to deliver
efficient, safe
and value-for-
money care
while
maintaining
quality and
innovation
