Information for Patients

X-rays are the most commonly requested of all diagnostic imaging tests. A small amount of radiation is used to produce a 2D image of the area of interest. X-ray services are available at five sites across the Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust.

Information for GPs

Patients can be referred directly to the x-ray department, by completing an x-ray request form. The patient can select which department they would prefer to attend and book an appointment or walk in depending on the site.  X-ray reports are sent back to referrers electronically, in line with national reporting turnaround times, based on referral priority.
