Temporary service change regarding imaging

January 8, 2021

Due to significant pressure on inpatient flow within our acute sites we have temporarily reduced routine outpatient work in Rowley Regis Hospital and Neptune Health Centre in order to fill gaps and support flow throughout the hospital.

This is a temporary measure effective immediately and will be reviewed on a weekly basis to identify the earliest time with which they can be brought back online, however currently the expectation is that this will be in place for the next 2-3 weeks as a minimum.

Routine outpatient services are still available at Sandwell and at City hospital in the Birmingham Treatment Centre both of which provide a greater range of diagnostic services in one location and allows for greater flexibility of staffing.

If you have a patient who requires an x-ray please contact the SWBH booking centre 0121 507 3339

Any further changes in service will be communicated as soon as possible.
