II.1.4) Short description
The Radiology Service at Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (GHFT) provides a comprehensive range of diagnostic and interventional imaging procedures. A core element of this service is the delivery of accurate and timely diagnostic reports for acute and elective patients, which is essential to enable precise diagnosis and effective treatment planning across a wide spectrum of medical conditions.<br/><br/>Since May 2015, GHFT has utilised external reporting provision to supplement in-house capacity and ensure reporting times are maintained within nationally recognised standards.

The current range of image reporting required under this specification includes, but is not limited to:<br/> - Plain Radiography (Computed Radiography (CR)/ Digital Radiography (DR))<br/> - Computed Tomography (CT)<br/> - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)<br/>• Sub-specialty Reporting. Include, but are not limited to:<br/> - Neuroradiology<br/> - Paediatric Radiology (including Paediatric Neuroradiology)<br/> - Oncology/Cancer reporting, including RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours) assessments (e.g. lung, breast, prostate, brain)<br/> - Musculoskeletal Imaging<br/> - Cardiac Imaging<br/> - CT Colonography (CTC)<br/> - Vascular Imaging<br/>• Service Development. Suppliers MUST provide reporting services in line with evolving clinical requirements. Where new reporting areas are established, or existing practices are enhanced, services delivered MUST align with recognised industry best practice, relevant regulatory frameworks, and applicable legislative requirements.
