As part of this partnership, the first new technology, the Voluson SWIFT ultrasound, was delivered last week to support women's health services at the Leighton Street clinic.

Given the record-high NHS waiting lists, Nuffield Health Leeds Hospital aims to alleviate this pressure by increasing diagnostic capacity and supporting NHS initiatives.

Ken Hay, Interim Hospital Director at Nuffield Health Leeds Hospital, said: “Patients in Leeds can look forward to an even higher standard of care at Nuffield Health Leeds Hospital.

"This investment means faster, more precise diagnoses for our patients, and it also allows us to support our NHS partners in tackling waiting lists."

He added: "We're excited to equip our expert team with these cutting-edge tools to ensure the best possible care for years to come."
