Please note : We offer a walk-in service for CXR in the Radiology Department at NDDH.

Please note ; patients do NOT need to phone to arrange an appointment for walk-in chest x-rays but do need to bring with them the referral form signed by their GP.  All referral forms need to be completed correctly, with a full clinical information, including smoking history, otherwise this may result in delays or patients not being imaged at the time of attendance.
