Urgent Requests

Our staff in Radiology understand that patients have unexpected needs and may require urgent attention. During normal working hours, urgent requests will be accommodated in our department. GPs who require a faxed report should include their fax number on the request form/letter. Outpatient radiology is not covered by insurance companies and patients will incur the cost of the x-ray, payable at time of testing.
