About Us

New Medical was founded in 2002 by Dr. David Berger and Dr. James Morrow, both GPs, and James Kraft, an economist. We make the advantages of high-tech evidence-based screening for common problems such as abdominal aortic aneurysm, osteoporosis and bowel cancer available to ordinary people. We do this by delivering a quality service at a modest cost in accessible places such as GP surgeries. We are totally committed to the delivery of healthcare of the highest quality and are supported in this by our distinguished clinical governance board.
