Rizwan is an excellent networker and incredibly well respected amongst his colleagues and peers in the industry. As a subject matter expert in Radiology and Artificial Intelligence, he is one of these special individuals who has been trained to have an opinion, executes his opinion with great clarity, yet always manages to provide it objectively so that others feel empowered. Above all, it is Rizwan’s character which stands out the most when working with him and any prospective user of Rizwan’s services should expect honesty, integrity, reliability and a thoroughly enjoyable working relationship.

Wilmslow Health Centre
“I’ve known Dr Rizwan Malik for over 30 years and was fortunate enough to enter into a joint venture with him just over a decade ago. In 2008, Rizwan had the foresight to recognise the potential impact of community-based diagnostics on the delivery of primary care.
He set up and ran South Manchester Radiology which was one of the first organisations in the UK to deliver ultrasound scans in the community.
South Manchester Radiology revolutionised the delivery of primary care allowing GPs rapid access to high quality scans and reports. Wait times for scans in our area dropped from six weeks to six days for routine scans and urgent scans were quite often delivered and reported within a day.
Dr Malik’s exceptional clinical skills together with his in depth knowledge of healthcare systems in the UK allow him a unique position to innovate and recognise key areas of development for the NHS of the future…”

AGFA HealthCare
We engaged with South Manchester Radiology to enable an objective review of our demonstration performance and bid proposal in a new territory for our UK business. Rizwan and his team engaged to fully review our demonstration and proposal with a holistic review on our approach. SMR operated with honesty, objectivity and passion and we knew immediately that we had the right partner to deliver a creative injection to our bid. We were able to re-affirm some of our win themes and also spotlight some of our offerings that we’d not leaned in heavily enough to, that were sweet spots.
The collaboration was of a very high calibre, professional and thought through. The way Dr Malik operates coolly, calmly and offering a transparent and direct approach to conversation and business meant that we really valued the engagement. This has led us to a continued engagement with SMR and we consider Rizwan a leading key opinion leader and our relationship remains ever present.
