Imaging (GP information)
Introduction
For information on the Imaging department, please visit the main services page.
Referral Process
All Imaging referrals are either supported by a specialist pathway or by appointment (other than walk-in chest XRay access).
The service is open to direct access GP referrals through electronic ordering in ICE with reports readily available through the same mechanism.
Consultant Radiologists may be contacted for further opinion on reports and for clinical advice on the most appropriate examination for patients. Please see iRefer link that may also be of assistance.
