Improvements to the Interventional Radiology suite’s recovery area has also resulted in increased capacity meaning more outpatient procedures, including biopsies, can be performed in one session. In turn this will help reduce waiting times for patients on cancer pathways.
Interventional Radiology is a highly specialised, minimally invasive service that uses image-guided techniques to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, including cancer, internal bleeding, kidney disease and blood clots.
The service, which operates 24-hours a day, seven days a week, supports the hospital’s emergency department and specialties such as oncology, urology, vascular surgery, trauma. It also directly supports the Obstetric Team in performing procedures to stop excessive bleeding after childbirth, which can be life-threatening if not treated promptly.
