A once in a generation opportunity for:

A once-in-a-generation opportunity to change the picture

6.6 million patients. 15 NHS trusts. One shared imaging record.

When imaging went digital, each trust did it alone. Now, we will do it together.

The Converged Digital Imaging Platform is the largest digital health initiative of its kind in Europe – and it changes everything:

Choice

Patients deciding where and when they have their scan. Equitable access.

Collaboration

Trusts sharing expertise, capacity, and workloads. Instantly accessible images and reports.

Confidence

Surgeons, stroke teams, A&E, and referring clinicians with complete imaging when it matters most.

For everyone, in every trust, everyday

One procurement, one solution, an opportunity to work as one team.

Demand is rising, and our workforce is under pressure. Now, we can respond together.

CDIP will connect imaging services across 15 West Midlands trusts – creating the foundation for shared expertise, shared capacity, and services that can keep pace with the future.

It’s the foundation for earlier diagnoses, faster treatment, innovation adoption, and equitable access to specialist expertise for every patient across the region.

Unprecedented collaboration. Shared expertise. Better outcomes.

Complete imaging history for every patient. Cross-site reporting to share workloads and specialist opinions. And a single platform ready for safe AI adoption at scale.

"This programme is our chance to change the picture on how we can make the most of diagnostic expertise for patients and healthcare professionals alike." - Dr James Heron, Medical Director, West Midlands Imaging Network

Complete imaging. Instant access. Confident decisions.

When seconds matter, you need the full picture. CDIP will put a patient's complete imaging history at your fingertips - regardless of where their scans were taken. No phone calls. No delays. No gaps.

Whether you're triaging in A&E, planning for theatre, or determining a cancer treatment pathway - the right images, when you need them.

Smoother workflows. Better flow.

Simplified scheduling. Fewer repeat scans. Streamlined MDT preparation. An end to manually share images. One platform, one system to learn.

Less time fighting systems. More time making them work.

More capacity. Productivity gains. Harness workforce.

Significant cost savings versus individual contracts. A future-proofed platform ready for new innovation. Shared capacity and expertise across 15 trusts. And a foundation for reducing diagnostic inequalities across the region.

"NHS trusts in the West Midlands are embarking on the largest programme of its kind in the NHS, and with it, one of the largest opportunities to sustain and enhance a vital part of patient care." - Dr Simon Constable, Chair, West Midlands Imaging Network

Embrace it, develop with it, and develop it for the benefit of people like me - patients.
