Please note : We have reinstated the walk in service for CXR in the Radiology Department at NDDH. The service will operate between the hours of 9am-4pm.

Can I ask that any patients attend with their form in hand and that all referrals are 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.
