GP direct-access urgent suspected cancer imaging requests

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').

Please note: patients should not contact the department to make an appointment.

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 Imaging sites at WH have the appropriate number of staff during the patient's appointment and while they wait for their transport home.
