PATIENT VOLUNTEERS

Can you help us?

The practice team love to teach and we have regular groups of medical students with us.  Meeting real people is so helpful for their learning. Would you have 45 minutes free usually the afternoon, for an occasional visit to the practice?

We're looking for patient volunteers both to talk about their experience of different medical conditions and be willing for students to practice physical examination skills (like listening to chests and feeling tummies)

Please let reception know and we will add you on to our list.

Thank You

X-Ray

doctor examining an x-rayAn X-ray is a widely used diagnostic test to examine the inside of the body. X-rays are a very effective way of detecting problems with bones, such as fractures. They can also often identify problems with soft tissue, such as pneumonia or breast cancer.

If you have a X-ray, you will be asked to lie on a table or stand against a surface so that the part of your body being X-rayed is between the X-ray tube and the photographic plate.

An X-ray is usually carried out by a radiographer, a healthcare professional who specialises in using imaging technology, such as X-rays and ultrasound scanners.

You can find out more about x-ray tests, how they are performed, their function and the risks by visiting the NHS Choices website.
