Company to target GPs as commissioning process changes

The UK’s leading independent provider of neurophysiology tests for UK healthcare establishments, Bespoke Healthcare has reported a 67 percent increase in patient numbers for 2010.

In the last year the company saw 5,140 patients, as compared to 3,450 in 2009.  By year end, June 30, 2010, the business is projected to exceed 6,000 patients.

The rise in figures was attained after securing contract wins with Wrightington, Wigan & Leigh Foundation Trust, The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust.

The company also introduced several new neurophysiology services including intra-operative monitoring (IOM), Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEPs), Transcranial Electrical Motor Evoked Potential (TcMEP or MEP) and Electromyography (EMG).

Gwam Rajiah, managing director of Bespoke Healthcare, said: “While we are delighted with the growth we are aware that the commissioning process for complex services, including neurophysiology, is changing.

“We have already taken several steps to adapt our service to meet GPs’ requirements while ensuring our existing clients, namely public and private hospitals, receive the same high professional level of service through renowned consultants and clinical staff.

“I can say with confidence that we will continue to grow throughout 2011 and beyond, and we will secure new contracts and introduce services to meet the needs of our clients and their patients.”

Founded in 2006, Preston-based Bespoke Healthcare has seen over 12,000 patients for leading healthcare establishments nationwide including Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, Wrightington, Wigan & Leigh Foundation Trust and Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals NHS Trust.
