When radiology went digital in 2006, it created a massive wave of optimism for NHS digitisation. But why has replicating that success in other disciplines been so challenging?

Sectra’s Chris Scarisbrick joins Med-Tech Insights Editor Oli to dive deep into the cultural and technical shifts happening across the NHS. From the post-pandemic acceleration of cloud-first architectures to the rise of regional Integrated Care Systems (ICS), Chris explains why centralised cloud data is no longer just an option—it’s a necessity for modern cybersecurity and patient care.

We also explore the modern frontiers of medicine: how digital pathology is applying the radiology playbook, why clinical AI needs to be “invisible” to combat radiologist burnout, and how diagnostic IT infrastructure must evolve to handle massive genomic data payloads by 2035.

Driving innovation in medical motion control

Driving innovation in medical motion control

Whether it’s the smooth articulation of a surgical robot, the precise positioning of an imaging system, or the reliable, repeatable movement inside a laboratory instrument, motion control plays a key role in modern medical devices. Despite this, however, it is often one of the most complex aspects o
