Two-year contract to support Royal Papworth Hospital
Cambridge, UK - 27 April 2018: Feedback plc ("Feedback" or the
"Company") (AIM: FDBK), the specialist medical imaging technology
company, announces the signing of a new agreement with Royal
Papworth Hospital, Cambridgeshire (UK) for the Company's Cadran
picture archiving communication system (PACS) which provides
decision support for scan analysis.
Feedback's subsidiary company, Feedback Medical Limited
(formerly Cambridge Computed Imaging Limited), has signed a
two-year agreement with Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation
Trust (the "Trust") to support and maintain the existing Cadran
PACS system. The Trust is due to move from the existing site in
Papworth Everard to a new custom-built hospital on the Cambridge
Biomedical Campus during 2018.
The agreement further supports Feedback's mission to create and
supply evidence-based imaging software, arming clinicians with
innovative tools to improve patient outcomes. Feedback Medical has
been providing PACS technology and support to the Trust for over 15
years and was involved in the early development of digital image
management for radiology scans as the implementation of PACS was
rolled out within the UK's National Health Service (NHS). The new
agreement will provide continued support for the existing systems
and data management and will ensure a smooth transition and
continuity of service as the Trust moves to the new Papworth
Hospital.
Cadran is installed in a number of NHS sites in the East of
England and represents an unseen but vital part of medical imaging,
allowing scans to be easily stored, retrieved and analysed by
medical practitioners to better diagnose disease and assess patient
management.
David Crabb, Chief Executive Officer of Feedback plc, said: "The
development of the new site and facilities is an exciting new
chapter in the history of the world-leading expertise of Royal
Papworth Hospital and we are pleased to be part of this
journey."
Thomas Wright, PACS Manager, Radiology Department, Royal
Papworth Hospital commented: "We are very pleased to have been able
to continue the relationship with the team at Feedback Medical
which has been proven over many years. The move to a completely new
site is always going to be a challenging time but we are reassured
to be able to rely on Feedback Medical and the Cadran system
maintain the high standards of medical image access and management
to ensure continuity of care for our patients."
Dr Stephen Brown, Chief Operating Officer at Feedback Medical,
added: "Feedback Medical has a long-standing relationship and great
respect for the team at Papworth and we are excited to be part of
the transition to the new site and seeing Cadran in place and
operating with the new Imaging capabilities and opportunities which
will be available."
