In an effort to manage increased demand for X-rays at The Princess Alexandra Hospital (PAH), temporary changes were made on 20 January to the times in which walk-in X-ray requests from GPs could be facilitated by the radiology department at PAH.

These changes have now been lifted, and from today (Thursday 30 January), walk-in X-ray requests from GPs can now be facilitated at all sites, including PAH, St Margaret’s Hospital, and Herts and Essex Community Hospital, as follows:

  • Monday to Friday between 8am and 7:30pm
  • Saturday and Sunday between 9am and 4:30pm 

Note:X-ray requests from GPs for patients that have had an injury to the spine/pelvis or hips in the past four weeks and querying a bone injury, should attend the radiology department at PAH in Harlow.
