Appointments
General X-ray examinations do not require an appointment, but if the practice is very busy, patients with appointments are seen before those who do not.
If you are to have an ultrasound, special examination (eg barium studies) or CT, you will need an appointment. Please phone our Call Centre 0800 426 723 or visit your local Hamilton Radiology practice to make this appointment.
