Description

Current waiting times for echocardiograms exceed the national DM01 standard of six weeks.

The contract start date is estimated to be 1st April 2027.<br/><br/>Suppliers must be able to deliver echocardiography services in line with the Trust’s specification and clinical requirements, ensuring compliance with relevant quality, governance, and service standards.
