NHS ORKNEY - MRI Scanner
We start 2025 with some positive news for Orkney’s community following 
confirmation from Scottish Government that NHS Orkney has secured over 
half a million pounds of funding that will enable Orkney to have a 
mobile MRI scanner on-site at The Balfour for 12 months.
The scanner will resemble the familiar mobile unit previously seen in 
Orkney on a rotational basis and will continue to be stationed at the 
rear of The Balfour. This funding for 2025/26 ensures the continuation 
of the vital MRI service, providing a seamless experience for our 
patients and community, while avoiding unnecessary travel to other 
hospital sites such as Aberdeen.
This scanner will be staffed by NHS Orkney and appointments for the 
scanner will be issued by post to relevant patients. We hope to have the 
scanner up and running by the middle of 2025. In the meantime, the 
previously scheduled visit of the mobile MRI scanner is still set to 
take place in early 2025.
