I am trying to put together a protocol that a health visitor can follow, by which she will be able to order chest X-rays for: - immigrants who have not been X-rayed at the port of entry; and contacts of cases of tuberculosis. Does anybody have any such protocols that I could adapt to local use? Does anybody have any protocols by which nurses can order X-rays - e.g. in casualty? If I will have to develop a protocol from scratch I need to try to include al the appropriate contraindications, and I would rather not have to re-invent the wheel.
