In this episode of AXREM Insights, Melanie Johnson and Sally Edgington speak with Bob Child, Chief Commercial Officer at Soliton IT and AXREM’s Imaging IT Special Focus Group Convener, and Saduf Ali-Drakesmith, Head of Sales at Smart Reporting and Vice Convener. They reflect on their careers in imaging IT, share stories from the early days of digital transformation in radiology, and discuss their passion for improving patient care through innovation. The conversation highlights the strong sense of camaraderie in the medtech industry and the invaluable role AXREM plays in uniting competitors, colleagues and policymakers to work collaboratively.

The episode dives into the Imaging IT Manifesto, launched at Bletchley Park, which outlines the group’s vision and calls to action on topics such as cybersecurity, interoperability, AI integration and national policy alignment. The guests underscore the manifesto’s ambition to transform imaging services across the UK and explain how the group is actively working with key NHS stakeholders to turn these priorities into action. 

Documents mentioned during the episode include the AXREM Imaging IT Manifesto, the Strengthening Cyber Security in UK Healthcare, and the Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Guidance.
