Ultrasound Direct Expands Operations
Ultrasound Direct has announced it is to double its high-end equipment capacity at its Belfast base.
The news from the healthcare specialist, which also incorporates the scanning service Babybond, comes less than a year after they moved to the Lisburn Road area of the city.
In January of this year, the company moved from a single room on Malone Road to a 1,400 sq ft location in Lisburn Road. The clinic is now expanding again with preparations underway to open a second scanning room to accommodate a new HD scanning machine.
Jan Steward, Co-Founder, said: "We have experienced a huge demand in Ultrasound services in Northern Ireland since opening our first clinic in 2011.
"As a result, we made the decision to invest significantly in our operations by doubling our capacity and employing a full-time lead sonographer at our new premises on the Lisburn Road in Belfast.
"Our new clinic is much larger and in closer proximity to Balmoral Avenue and the M1 motorway network, providing ease of access from the entire Province and the Republic of Ireland. It also offers onsite parking which is a major asset.
"Our Belfast clinic is one of the busiest in the UK and, with our new HD scanning machine and second scanning room, we are looking to increase our men's health and women's health including fertility and MSK services offering. In time, we would hope to further increase our presence here in Northern Ireland."
