The radiology nursing team provide an extensive range of cover throughout the radiology department, in the Angio lab, CT, ultrasound and day case units within radiology at both HRI and CRH.
The nursing team assist the radiologist with interventional radiological , from diagnostic to therapeutic procedures. This ranges from assisting with a biopsy or drain in ultrasound or CT to being the scrubbing nurse during a vascular case.
We provide a range of services including urgent and emergency care; medical; surgical; maternity; gynaecology; critical care; children’s and young people’s services; end of life care and outpatient and diagnostic imaging services.
We provide community health services, including sexual health services in Calderdale from Calderdale Royal and local health centres. These include Todmorden Health Centre and Broad Street Plaza.
We continue to modernise and invest in our health services to build on our strong reputation. Foundation trusts are public leaders in improving quality in health services. They are part of the NHS – yet decisions about what they do and how they do it are driven by independent boards. Boards listen to their Council of Governors and respond to the needs of their members – patients, staff and the local community.
Foundation trusts provide what the health service wants, yet are also free to invest quickly in the changes to the local community needs, in striving to be the best, and in putting their patients first.
