The Radiology Service is consultant delivered with an emphasis on providing a well-rounded service, including both acute and local speciality imaging. Acute care has been an emphasis given the volume of emergency work and to that end, this service has been reorganised, incorporating evolving changes in Consultant Job Plans, Departmental and Clinical pathways. PRUH radiology has recently been recognised as a training site for King's College Hospital radiology specialist registrars. Radiology consultants are supported by administration staff and the departmental PA and office space is available.
