Our guiding principles, our competitive advantage

Underpinning our organisational philosophy is a commitment to our guiding principles, which we believe are critical to the ongoing success of the I-MED Network.

A collegiate culture

We strive to be a collegiate group in which we all respect each other as partners.

We recognise the importance of clinical independence

We believe the best medical outcomes are derived from local understanding driven by clinicians. Therefore local radiologists control the day-to-day affairs and clinical decision making to ensure that local service delivery is tailored to the needs of each local community.

A commitment to the practice of quality medicine

At the I-MED Network we aim to be the best. We strive to provide the best facilities and equipment, recruit and retain the very best staff in diagnostic imaging, and constantly review and measure our own performance to identify opportunities for improvement.

Local management

We believe in the decentralisation of day-to-day management to ensure that our radiologists and staff are involved in tailoring the decisions that affect their practices, their local referrers and their patient community.

Leveraging the network

As the largest provider of diagnostic imaging in Australia, our size and scale gives us unique advantages. We are committed to capturing those advantages while remaining committed to our organisational philosophy. Examples include negotiating the best deals globally for new technologies, and leveraging the intellectual capital of the group by actively promoting the sharing of ideas and information throughout the organisation.

Recognising all our stakeholders

We strive to achieve superior outcomes and benefits for all our stakeholders including patients, the community, staff, radiologists and shareholders.
