Health is influenced by many factors, including our working environment. At Philips, we partner with you to create "healthy spaces" that meet the goals of the quadruple aim: enhancing the patient experience, improving health outcomes, lowering the cost of care and improving the work life of care providers.
Our CDC spaces are both inspiring and easy to access, led by evidence-based design. The positive impact of this approach can be measured in terms of improved outcomes and the experience for patients and staff.
We leverage our global expertise, tools and methodologies, to develop safe, quality, innovative facilities across Radiology, Cardiology, Oncology, Respiratory and Sleep health spaces, incorporating the latest technologies and immersive experience solutions.
For patients scheduled for cancer imaging, the anticipation of a diagnosis can be intensely stressful. CDC help by providing these tests in a familiar setting, closer to home.
Philips Ambient Experience uptake room solutions reduce anxiety by helping patients remain calm during uptake procedures. Patients retain an element of control which translates into patient satisfaction that can become a differentiating factor for any healthcare provider.
The Ambient Experience rooms have a wide range additional applications, from chemotherapy to phlebotomy.
The NHS is calling for people to be given greater choice over when and where they are screened. CDC are an ideal way of delivering high-quality screening services to the population whilst avoiding hospitals.
Philips partner with vendor-agnostic mammography and other screening solutions to provide faster access to screening in a community setting. Our technologies and integrated information system solutions deliver personalised low-dose care, driving earlier diagnosis and improved cancer survival.
The NHS Long Term Plan commits to supporting patients closer to home and potentially avoiding trips to A&E. Philips Digital X-ray solutions include state-of-the-art systems that combine low-dose X-ray technology, versatile room configurations and ambient lighting to meet the most demanding radiography needs.
Our solutions allow you to see more patients per day and shorten waiting times, providing the highest levels of care in a setting closer to your patients' homes.
Waiting times can be a source of frustration for patients. Philips MR solutions connect data, technology and people to reduce waiting times in key areas.
With Philips revolutionary BlueSeal technology, your scanner operates with just seven litres of Helium in a fully sealed magnet. No more Helium fills, no more quench pipe. Greater flexibility in locating your MR system in a wide range of CDC locations, whether in a retail space or high-rise building.
Philips Compressed SENSE™ reduces scan times by up to 50% across all anatomies1. The result is increased productivity and diagnostic confidence, leading to reduced patient waiting times.
With the continuing pressure on outpatient diagnostic demand, patients are waiting longer for hospital appointments when they could be seen in the community. CT in the community has a wide range of clinical applications, from stroke to cardiac pathways, from cancer to respiratory conditions.
Philips CT technologies and integrated information system solutions drive exceptional clinical performance and superb image quality. This improves the information flow to clinicians, ensuring that when patients are referred for follow up, they see the right person in the right place, first time.
The current NHS staffing shortfall presents a major risk to the delivery of the NHS Long Term Plan and current workforce shortages are predicted to rise for at least the next 10 years.
How can Philips help ensure that patients in Community settings receive the same high levels of care as in the hospital?
Philips Remote Operational Command Centre (ROCC)* is a new technology that allows expert staff to work in a virtual manner, across a multi-site, multi-vendor imaging network. Expert staff can work remotely and deliver the highest standards to patient care to out-of-hospital settings.
Waiting for results can be an anxious time for patients. Philips innovative patient care solutions enable healthcare professionals to remotely connect with patients and support better management of chronic and complex conditions, enabling people to control their own health and wellbeing.
Our applications enable patients to receive reminders, engage with health coaching, respond to surveys and questionnaires and message or video call their health professional in a single digital portal.
With rising backlogs in diagnostic imaging waiting times, Philips supports the NHS through providing interim Community Diagnostic Centres or Hubs (CDC/H) in modular and relocatable format.
CDC/H solutions are adaptable and can include common areas along with bolt-on imaging rooms including Magnetic Resonance (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT). Each room can be removed and replaced with changing demand.
Philips manages CDC/H projects from initial design to final completion, including full construction management services

In order to deliver on the NHS plan and vision, Philips’ premise is that there needs to be a transformation in delivery of diagnostic and treatment services in England, expanding care delivery out of traditional hospital settings into community and specialist settings, as well as using the opportunity granted by affordable and accessible spaces on our high streets.
