£1m x-ray equipment is latest investment at hospital

A £1million refurbishment of the x-ray department at King’s Lynn’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital is benefitting patients and radiographers.

Three digital x-ray rooms have been fitted with new imaging equipment which are providing high quality images to help speed up diagnosis.
The hospital has also invested in a new £100,000 portable unit, which can be used in A&E or on the wards for patients who are too ill to be moved to the x-ray department.

Service manager Ann Garner is pleased with the latest addition to the Trust.
She said: “All of this work has been completed in a short space of time and with minimal disruption to the running of the department.
“The new equipment is not only more efficient but the images are also of a higher quality and provide our radiographers with greater flexibility.”

The hospital’s x-ray department images 77,000 patients each year and those patients referred by their GP or out-patient doctor are most likely to see the benefit.

This is the latest in a series of large investments at the hospital, including the £3.2million laparoscopic theatre renovation programme, breast unit and the Waterlily Birth Centre.
