This Christchurch radiology organisation is committed to providing the best possible care.
“At Beyond Radiology Christchurch, every decision we make – from the way our clinics are designed to the technology we invest in – centres around providing the very best care for those who walk through our doors,” says practice manager Serena Hitchings.
“That same commitment to people extends to the strong, trusted relationships we have with our community and specialist referrers. In August, Beyond Radiology presented at the recent GPCME South conference here in Christchurch, further strengthening those connections within the medical community.”
“Dr Clarke Baker, one of our highly experienced Musculoskeletal Radiologists, delivered a well-received presentation on acute knee injuries, sharing expertise and insights that support GPs in providing timely, effective patient care. We see these events as more than conferences – they are opportunities to connect, collaborate, and learn with the medical community that trusts us with their patients’ care.”
Alongside this collaborative approach, patients benefit from some of the most advanced imaging technology available in New Zealand, including the latest Siemens 3T MRI scanners with Deep Resolve AI software, high-resolution CT, ultrasound, and x-ray equipment for both diagnostic and interventional procedures. These innovations allow the team to capture previously unseen detail – critical in providing fast, accurate answers for both patients and referrers.
Technology alone does not define excellence; it is their team of skilled, compassionate radiologists and staff who transform these images into meaningful diagnoses and guidance.
“Working closely with referrers, we ensure reports are timely, precise, and clinically valuable, whether that means guiding a patient through a complex interventional procedure or providing clarity on a challenging case,” Serena says.
“From the moment a patient steps into our welcoming Merivale clinic – or our Strowan location within Dudley Creek Health – they are met with a calm, stress-free environment. Natural timber finishes, warm interiors, and a thoughtfully designed flow through the clinic all help to create a sense of comfort and dignity. Every person is treated with respect and compassion, regardless of background, and every detail of their journey is considered with care.
“As a New Zealand–owned, clinician-led service, we go above and beyond every single day to deliver a quality, patient-focused experience. Our growth, both in Christchurch and nationally, is built on the trust we share with our community, and we are proud to work alongside all our referrers to deliver the very best in imaging, patient care, and experience.”
