Our view of the service
We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection of Diagnostic Imaging services at Queen Elizabeth Hospital on 18 and 19 March 2026. We inspected all the quality statements in this assessment across the five key questions: safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.
During our inspection we visited: x-ray, computed tomography (CT), dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scanning, breast clinic, and magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI).
We spoke with over 26 members of staff including radiographers, radiologists, imaging assistants, sonographers, receptionists, and managers.
People's experience of this service
During the assessment we observed patient care and spoke with people using the services. We received feedback from 15 patients and carers. Patients, family members, and carers we spoke with were all positive about their treatment and said they were treated with warmth and kindness. We found patients were provided with effective care and treatment. We also reviewed information the provider collected to monitor the quality and safety of their service.
People felt outcomes were consistently good. People said they were well-supported, cared for and treated with dignity and respect. People could access care to meet their needs. People told us communication with them was generally good. We observed that staff provided clear explanations in a way patients could understand and they were offered reassurance when required.
