The UK is important for GE Healthcare, not only do we have our Global Headquarters based here, but we have enjoyed a long history of working closely with Healthcare professionals in the Department of Health, NHS and private sector to develop and implement better patient management, using improved diagnosis, and monitoring. In Ireland we have an ongoing association with the Health Service Executive and welcomed the dialogue with leading care providers to ensure leading technology is available to support diagnosis and local healthcare provision. In a time of unprecedented change in our economic environment, we recognize that cost-effective , accessible healthcare is more important than ever. GE Healthcare is committed to continue to develop and provide quality technology and services to meet the changing needs of Healthcare providers. As a demonstration of our response to these changes, I am pleased to announce the launch of our Healthymagination initiative. This global programme commits GE resources to providing more efficient healthcare, with the aim of lower overall patient pathway costs, increased access to appropriate technology whilst maintaining the highest levels of quality and reliability. At national level, we are working with clinicians, researchers and patient groups to ensure alignment of our capabilities with new developments in care area pathways. These include cardiology, stroke, cancer and dementia and will utilize early diagnosis as an important tool to provide information and assist treatment decision making. Our global research centres are working on next generation technology and products, with the all important linkage to IT systems, enabling device connectivity and accessible patient data for all those involved in the care of the patient. |
