“I get to work with an amazing group of clinicians, radiographers, and senior leaders across HCA UK. Collaborating with such talented people to deliver outstanding patient care is what makes this role so rewarding.
This , we’re shining a spotlight on Tej Bangay, Head of Imaging Service Line at HCA Healthcare UK, who shares how imaging innovation has transformed the way we care for our patients and how we stay at the forefront of imaging excellence.
“We’re transforming diagnostics through advanced imaging and collaborative care. From MRI and CT to ultrasound and mammography, we provide walk-in and rapid access to a full range of imaging services, with Consultant Radiologists offering fast, accurate reporting. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures that every patient benefits from collective expertise and a seamless journey through diagnosis and treatment.
“Imaging technology has changed beyond recognition over the years. We’ve moved from traditional film-based X-rays to fully digital systems that shift alone has been transformative. It means faster results, better image quality, and ultimately, better patient outcomes. Advances such as high-resolution CT, MRI, and 3D imaging tools have made diagnostics more precise and efficient than ever before.
“For me, one of the most transformative innovations has been PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems). Gone are the days of film and physical storage. now, images are instantly available across our network. It’s revolutionised how we collaborate, speeding up diagnoses and improving patient care.” - Tej
At HCA Healthcare UK, we’re proud of how far we’ve come and even more excited for what’s ahead. This year alone, we’ve carried out over 300,000 scans, averaging 30,000 every month across our network. Supported by a dedicated team of over 200 radiographers, we continue to drive forward innovation, excellence and compassionate care.
To all of our radiography teams, including our Diagnostic Radiographers, Therapy Radiographers, Sonographers, and Nuclear Medicine Technologists, thank you for your incredible dedication, expertise, and compassion you bring to your work everyday đź’™
