Radiology
Our radiology team takes the X-rays and scans your doctor needs to find out what is wrong, quickly and at a price families can afford. The department is run by doctors, and every result is checked to the same quality standard.

X-rayFor injuries, chest problems and other conditions. Available to our Accident & Emergency team.
Virtual colonoscopyA scan of the large bowel to look for polyps and early signs of cancer.
Flexible sigmoidoscopyA thin, flexible camera is used to look inside the rectum and lower bowel.
