Screening services

At Xyla, we provide high-quality screening services built around the needs of patients and the organisations that care for them.

Our flexible approach means we can support with long‑term programme delivery or provide short‑term capacity when backlogs arise. Whether we’re managing the full patient journey or supplying skilled professionals on site, we’ll always focus on delivering a safe, reliable service that keeps care running smoothly.

Why choose Xyla?

Clinically robust and trusted

As a CQC-registered provider, we deliver safe, high-quality carin partnership with over 80 NHS Trusts and Integrated Care Systems.

Our approach aligns with governance standards and is clinically focused, with a Medical Advisory Board for each specialty. 

Commercially viable and scalable

We offer an outcome-based, transparent pricing model, backed by proven conversion rates and scanner utilisation above national targets.  

Our scalable workforce and infrastructure mean we can support programmes of any size. 

Seamless digital patient management

We use SystmOne, securely linked to the NHS Spine, to manage the patient journey, with self-booking, multi-channel communication and SMS reminders available. 

Commissioners and partners also get real‑time dashboards showing key patient journey metrics. 

Inclusive and equitable care

We specialise in reaching underserved groups, including: 

  • Ethnic minorities, homeless and traveller communities 
  • People with disabilities, low literacy or digital exclusion issues  
  • Those living in rural or deprived areas

Targeted, timely patient engagement

Through targeted, data-led contact strategies, we engage patients in the right way at the right time.

This approach reduces Did Not Attends (DNAs), boosts appointment uptake and supports equitable engagement, particularly among underserved communities.

An experienced workforce

We provide trained nursing and administrative staff to support with:  

  • Post-scan follow-ups  
  • Multidisciplinary team (MDT) collaboration  
  • Virtual health checks  
  • Data management 

Our screening services

Our screening services are designed to give you the right level of support at the right time. Whether you need long‑term programme management or short‑term capacity support, we’ll adapt our approach to match your operational needs. 

We work closely with technology and imaging providers, NHS Trusts and other healthcare organisations across both hospital and community settings. Our support can include multi‑year partnerships on screening programmes right through to deploying rapid, short‑term teams to help clear backlogs quickly.  

Whatever the scope or duration, our priority is always to ensure patients receive timely, reliable care and that you can maintain service continuity.
