Radiology for children

Visiting the Radiology department can be a scary time for a child. The Radiology department is filled with lots of big machines but we aim to make the process as friendly as possible and make sure the child is put at ease throughout their appointment.

We have a paediatric lead radiographer to ensure a quality paediatric service. The lead paediatric radiographer will also be on hand to answer any questions you or your child may have at any point during the process.

Below is a list of websites and apps to help prepare your child for their appointment in the Radiology department.
