Good experience in the radiology department

"Good experience in the radiology department"

About: North Devon District Hospital / Radiology (X-ray)

(as the patient),

I have never heard of let alone had a DXA scan.  I was welcomed into the scanning room by my radiologist who was a lovely young chap.  I was instantly put at ease and informed as to what was about to happen.  Everything was explained very concisely and with just the right amount of banter and humour to take the edge off of the unknown.

The scan was over and done with fairly quickly and I'm now awaiting results. I came away with some very useful and interesting advice and a informative leaflet.

I am a Diagnostic Radiographer with many years experience of working, and imaging patients, in all areas of the Radiology department. I am also responsible for the governance in Radiology and so make sure that we are compliant with the many ionising radiation regulations that dictate what we can and can't do in radiology, keep the patients and staff safe and ensure we are practicing safely. I also deal with our policies and procedures and oversee compliments, complaints and quality.

Dear dagg

Thank you for taking the time to leave positive feedback following your DXA scan. I'm glad that you had a positive experience to share and that you felt well informed and had enough information to advise you further. Karl and the DXA team work hard to ensure their service is the best it can be for their patients and so they will be very pleased to receive your feedback.

Kind regards

Gill
