Thank you so much for your excellent service and support.

JK
Advanced Physiotherapy Practitioner

I am writing on behalf of the ICATS team to thank you for the excellent service you have provided to us over the last few years in terms of diagnostics for our patients referred from our service to your centre.

The patients are always very impressed as are we with the promptness of appointments, the quality of the imaging and reporting and the efficient processes for getting the diagnostic information back to our clinicians. Patients regularly remark on how comfortable they are made to feel on arrival and the kindness of your staff team.

We hope with the renewal of the new ICATS contract that you continue to be the main provider offering the same high quality diagnostic service for our patients.
