X-ray

X-ray is an imaging technique to show up abnormalities in bones and certain body tissue, such as breast tissue.
An x-ray is the most common form of diagnostic examination used as it is a quick and painless method to diagnose many health conditions such as:
- Broken bones and fractures
- Early signs of disease in organs and soft tissue
- Damage to joints
- Chest infections

Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic to protect our patients and staff we need to limit the number of people visiting the hospital therefore:
- Where possible you are required to attend your appointment unaccompanied, a relative/carer can only accompany you if you require support. If a relative/friend does bring you ask them to wait in the car
- Please Arrive on Time (No more than a couple of minutes before your appointment time) – This is to ensure that we have minimum numbers of patients in the waiting room.
- Please wear a mask/face covering
- If you are showing symptoms of Covid-19 please do not attend and telephone us to re-book your appointment.
