Following the successful deployment of the first Intelli-C Suite earlier this year, the second installation further enhances clinical capacity and operational flexibility. With both systems now live, the Trust is uniquely positioned to meet growing demand for high-quality diagnostic imaging and complex interventional procedures.

The Intelli-C Hybrid Suite unites fluoroscopy, radiography, and advanced interventional capabilities in a single, highly versatile platform. Its precision imaging and adaptable workflow tools empower clinicians to perform a broad spectrum of procedures with efficiency, accuracy, and confidence.

Hannah Garnett, Advanced Practitioner GI/GU Fluoroscopy Radiographer at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, commented on the impact of the new technology:
“The fluoroscopy units are very versatile, allowing a wide range of procedures to be carried out with ease, improving the service for patients and image quality for clinicians. Our fluoroscopy suites are now modernised and more patient friendly, accommodating patients with varying needs.”

Training has been completed for the Trust’s dedicated clinical teams, ensuring both installations are fully optimised for patient benefit. The dual-suite configuration is expected to significantly reduce bottlenecks, expand service availability, and support faster, more effective care delivery.

This achievement reflects the close collaboration between HSL, NRT, and the Trust. From initial planning to installation and training, each stage has been driven by a shared commitment to clinical excellence and innovation. Together, the partnership is helping to set new standards in hybrid imaging technology within the NHS.

With two Intelli-C Suites now operational, the Trust has solidified its leadership in advanced imaging, reaffirming its vision to invest in state-of-the-art solutions that meet the evolving needs of patients and clinicians alike.

This milestone demonstrates how sustained innovation and collaboration can directly translate into improved outcomes, ensuring NHS patients continue to benefit from the very best in diagnostic and interventional care.

The availability of this embedded service from HSL as part of the conferencing and collaboration service designed by HSL for NHS clinical uses, Pulse, will enable NHS users of the Microsoft Teams application to continue to use this desktop application as and when they deem it fit for purpose. Users with Videoconferencing systems can participate in Microsoft Teams meetings via their gateway but also enables calling any type of meeting by enabling one touch join for complete call simplicity. The service has been designed and integrated into HSL’s Pulse service in a way that provides a simple and consistent workflow for NHS users to enable them to focus on their patients’ clinical needs instead of struggling to interconnect with other parts of the broadest NHS community and of course into the community and homes of patients.

Dominic Walsh, CEO of HSL comments, “It is innovation and collaboration like this between HSL and Synergy SKY that produces timely and relevant services for the NHS as it deals with the huge current challenges including Covid, the covid backlog and the management of the flu through this winter, as well as in a cost-of-living crisis”, says Walsh. “Our service will save NHS bodies time and money immediately and continue to do so through the life of the service. We are proud to deliver these services and to continue to help the people who help the people” he continues. “We will continue to deliver high- quality products and services and will drive innovation for the benefit of the health service” finishes Walsh.

Adele Thornton Regional Manager UK & Ireland, Synergy SKY commented “We are very excited about the combined knowledge, experience, and client base HSL has in the NHS and how together we can solve a very current issue that the NHS faces after the centralized CVI is switched off. CONNECT not only offers internal SIP to Teams interoperability but also handles external Microsoft Teams invites from universities, labs, other hospitals, and trusts that do not have CVI. We are very excited about the launch of this partnership and welcoming Hospital Services Limited on board as a top-tier Gold partner”, said Adele Thornton, Regional Manager UK & Ireland, Synergy SKY.

Over the last year, we have consulted with Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, general X-ray team to supply a general x-ray room which can be used across a diverse patient demographic. The Shimadzu RADspeed Pro general radiographic system has provided an improved workflow for busy teams whilst also achieving dose reduction for patients.

“In addition to the streamlined workflow which the system offers that enables our team to treat more patients more effectively, the adaptability of the system means that the same technology can be used for diagnostic imaging of patients ranging from paediatrics to elderly patients,”

said Joanne Peacock, (Interim) General X-Ray Manager.

“The technology will also help our team to answer the growing demand for chest x-rays as patients dealing with prolonged ‘long-Covid’ symptoms continue to present with ongoing imaging requirements.”

The newly installed Shimadzu RADspeed pro system is our first installation of its type in England and Scotland and the first radiography project we have carried out within Blackpool Teaching Hospitals. In addition to providing a more intuitive and comfortable experience for radiographers and patients, the system also utilises image stitching software powered by Canon, where the x-ray is programmed to take several pictures and render them together into one larger x-ray image on screen for a more comprehensive view of the area being examined.

Commenting on the newly-forged relationship between HSL and Blackpool Victoria Hospital HSL CEO Dominic Walsh said,

“We are proud to have worked side by side with the Department of Radiology at Blackpool Victoria Hospital to ensure that the project delivered tangible benefits to the hospital’s radiography team and patients alike. The Shimadzu RADspeed Pro which has been installed within the Department is a truly robust and versatile piece of equipment which can be used for a wide range and high volume of patients to help improve patient through-put and streamline the workflow for the very busy radiography team.”
