Cobalt Health
Cobalt Health is a medical charity helping people affected by cancer, dementia and other conditions. Our sophisticated and innovative scanning equipment uses the latest technology. Each year we provide diagnostic imaging for over 65,000 patients at our Imaging Centres in Cheltenham and Birmingham and through our fleet of six mobile MRI scanners that travel throughout the three counties (Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire) and beyond.
At times of uncertainty there is also an impact on donations that charities like Cobalt receives, however, we still need to be able to continue the important work that we do in supporting people with cancer and dementia.

Our role in helping the NHS fight coronovirus
We are supporting the NHS locally and nationally during the coronavirus (COVID-19) emergency. The Imaging Centre in Cheltenham is providing urgent scans for cancer patients to enable them to continue with their treatment pathways.
On a national level, the charity is gearing up to support NHS England using mobile Computerised Tomography (CT) scanners to be located at NHS hospitals and potentially the new COVID-19 field hospitals across England to support COVID-19 patients.
