Welcome to SaTH Radiology. Radiology is the branch of medicine specialising in the use of imaging to diagnose and treat disease seen within the body.

What We Do

Radiographers and Radiologists use a variety of imaging techniques such as X-ray, Non-Obstetric Ultrasound, CT, Nuclear Medicine and MRI in the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

We provide imaging services at:

• Royal Shrewsbury Hospital (RSH)
• The Princess Royal Hospital Telford (PRH)
• Hollinswood House Community Diagnostic Centre (HWH)
• Newport Cottage Care Centre (NCC)

Some services are also provided in partnership with Shropshire Community Health NHS for more information please visit: https://www.shropscommunityhealth.nhs.uk/diagnostic-test-x-rays-and-scans

We aim to offer you great experience and welcome your feedback to help us improve; please take the time to complete one of our feedback forms during your visit to us. Should our service fall below satisfactory in any aspect during your visit, please follow the Trust’s complaints procedure via the PALS team who will link with us for a full response.

Please be aware that we are a training site for undergraduate Radiographers and Radiologists supporting local Universities.

Students & Trainees

Please be aware that we are a training site for undergraduate professionals supporting local Universities. Students and trainees may be present during the examination but if you have any concerns regarding this, please contact us.

Children & Childcare

Please be aware that the department does not provide childcare facilities and children cannot be looked after by staff. Alternative arrangements for childcare should be made by their parent/carer.

Results

Once the results are reported and finalised by an imaging specialist, they will be sent to the clinician who referred you for the exam. This can take a few of weeks to complete depending on the type of exam you have had and the urgency.

You will not receive your results at the time of the exam. Your referring clinician is the only person who can share the results with you, Radiology staff are unable to discuss or send any reports to patients.

Missed appointments

Missed appointments cost the NHS millions of pounds each year. Please ensure that you contact us as soon as possible if you are unable to attend, running late, need to re-arrange or no longer require your appointment.
