DIAGNOSTICS: RECOVERY AND RENEWAL - NHS England
1 diagnostics : RECOVERY AND RENEWAL OCTOBER 2020 2 FOREWORD The need for radical investment and reform of diagnostic services was recognised at the time the NHS Long Term Plan was published in This report, commissioned by NHS England at that time, alongside a review of adult screening services, was nearing publication before the Covid-19 pandemic struck. However, while the recommendations made pre-pandemic still stand, additional actions will be needed to deliver safe, high quality diagnostic services in an endemic phase of the disease and to support the RECOVERY of diagnostic services.
• Acute and elective diagnostics should be separated wherever possible to increase efficiency. • Acute diagnostic services (for A&E and inpatient care) should be improved so that patients who require CT scanning or ultrasound from A&E can be imaged without delay. Inpatients needing CT or MRI should be able to be scanned on the day of request.
