Referral methods: Email, Hand to Patient

When referring a patient who needs hospital transport or who has mobility difficulties, please clearly mark this in the referral. This will help ensure that the trust has the appropriate number of staff during the patient's appointment and while they wait for their transport home.

Routine imaging requests

• If T-quest is available at your surgery, please use this method to refer. 
• Otherwise, complete the Radiology Request – RFH form and hand to patient.

GP direct-access urgent suspected cancer imaging requests

• Complete the Urgent Direct Access Imaging Request Form (adult & paed) Suspected Cancer – NCL form and email to rf.radiologyenquiries@nhs.net

If imaging supports referral for urgent suspected cancer (USC), a separate USC referral form will need to be completed (see relevant USC service page for details, search 'urgent suspected cancer').

Where to find the imaging request forms
