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.
TIA,
