Description

LaingBuisson’s comprehensive study of the UK’s Diagnostics market returns with its third edition, offering a detailed analysis of imaging and pathology services. These distinct, but essential, disciplines form the backbone of the diagnostics market now valued at £10.7 billion, providing crucial insights into patient care and treatment pathways.

Providing an in-depth examination of the market landscape, this resource highlights the evolving role of the private sector and the interplay between NHS and independent providers, with the overall ‘wholesale’ hospital market for imaging and pathology, now valued at £9.3 billion, and private diagnostic services companies accounting for 16.7% (£1.6 billion) of the market. Meanwhile, the ‘retail’ market – comprising tests separately charged to PMI, private, international, and B2C patients – is valued at just over £1.4 billion.

With increasing demand, NHS Trusts continue to supplement their imaging capacity with mobile solutions, and some have partially outsourced MRI scanning. Despite this, full outsourcing of imaging departments remains absent, in contrast to pathology services, where 8% of Trusts in England have transitioned to external providers.

As the sector is forced to navigate increased demand and workforce constraints, questions remain about the future of diagnostic delivery, such as:

Will the NHS continue to outsource, as seen in other markets?

How will investment in new technologies and innovation shape the competitive landscape?
Will consumer demand continue on its current trajectory?
With the growing reliance on diagnostics to inform patient care, the need for these answers remains vital.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
