Monday, Tuesday and Friday: 8:30am to 4pm

Patients having a general x-ray must have a signed referral from their General Practitioner (GP), to be presented on arrival to the department.
If in doubt please contact the Medical Imaging department during the hours specified above, before arriving in the department.
All other procedures require an appointment, and must be referred by a GP or a Private Specialist. The examination request form is posted in and when received, will be prioritised and an appointment made. The patient will be contacted by mail or phone of their proposed appointment date and time.

Medical Imaging staff are on call for urgent services to the Wards and Emergency Department.
