Transforming Medical Diagnostics – a progressive approach for a better future
Rutherford Diagnostics was established to fulfil a much-needed requirement for more advanced diagnostics services. We are developing a network of diagnostics centres across the UK to instigate change from the current reactive paradigm which often results in late stage diagnosis - to a proactive paradigm of prediction, prevention and earliest possible detection of disease. Our philosophy is to strive for world class quality care and we believe getting the basics of care right every time means the right diagnosis first time to ensure the best outcomes. By providing state of the art facilities and advanced clinical equipment we offer the highest level of efficiency and diagnostic yield, we can offer safe and clinically effective services with compassion and sensitivity for outstanding patient experience.
