“Dorset County Hospital has been a satisfied customer of Sunquest for thirteen years, using their laboratory, radiology and anatomic pathology software,” said Mark Hamblin, CSci FIBMS, Head Biomedical Scientist, Clinical Pathology, Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
“Their service and support staff exhibit a high level of professionalism and technical competence, which is what we require from a supplier of such key products. Our satisfaction is easily demonstrated by the fact that we continue to choose them to be our supplier after such a significant period of time with the company.”
“The Sunquest Laboratory Information System is a very powerful technology solution that enables us to effectively manage patient information throughout our different departments, and between our hospitals,” said Kristina Rasmussen, Lab Manager, Glostrup Hospital, Copenhagen Denmark.
