This support has not just been financial in nature, but has also included working collaboratively on our educational events including our cardiac CT course. Through the support and corporate collaboration from Siemens we have established active committee members, a past president and a trustee. It is this in-kind support that is invaluable to us and the experience and skills from Siemens have brought huge benefits to the organisation.”
