Whenever possible we will try to see patients referred for x-ray at community hospital locations by their GP on a drop-in basis.

This does depend on pre-booked appointments and the number of patients being referred as emergencies where the hospital additionally has a minor injury unit.

We would recommend patients call ahead so that we can advise on where they will be able to access the earliest appointment.

"We are sorry you are unhappy with the service you've received.

We are unable to comment specifically on individual appointments but if you would like to contact us please email rcht.pals@nhs.net.
