Calum Miller MP Visits Quest Medical’s Upper Heyford Facility

We were pleased to welcome Calum Miller MP, Member of Parliament for Bicester and Woodstock, to our Upper Heyford facility in Oxfordshire, on a visit facilitated by AXREM, the UK trade association for suppliers of diagnostic medical imaging, radiotherapy, healthcare IT and care equipment.

The visit gave Calum a closer look at the work behind mobile diagnostic services, and at how our logistics, engineering, infrastructure and asset management services help keep critical healthcare services running across the UK.

Upper Heyford is home to a significant fleet of mobile diagnostic trailers and units. During the tour, Calum saw the storage and operational facilities that allow us to deploy, maintain and manage these assets, supporting NHS and independent sector providers to deliver diagnostic services where and when they are needed most.

We also showed how our specialist logistics teams ensure complex mobile units are transported safely, positioned correctly and ready for operation, wherever they are needed in the country.

Mobile diagnostics play an increasingly important role in supporting patient access to care, reducing waiting lists and keeping services running during hospital refurbishments, equipment upgrades and periods of increased demand.

Jim Davies, Director of Meditech, Quest Medical (UK) Ltd, said:

“We were pleased to welcome Calum Miller MP to our Upper Heyford site and thank AXREM for facilitating the visit. It was a valuable opportunity to demonstrate the critical but often unseen work that goes into supporting mobile healthcare services and ensuring diagnostic capacity remains available to healthcare providers nationwide.”

Sally Edgington, Chief Executive Officer of AXREM, said:

“It is incredibly important that policymakers and parliamentarians have the opportunity to see first-hand the infrastructure and expertise that sits behind the delivery of modern healthcare services. Mobile diagnostic units have become an essential component of healthcare provision, helping providers maintain capacity, improve patient access and support service resilience.

We were delighted to facilitate this visit and showcase the important contribution Quest Medical makes to healthcare delivery across the UK. Their specialist logistics, infrastructure and operational support services play a critical role in ensuring mobile diagnostic facilities can be deployed safely and effectively wherever they are needed.”
