Referring Patients to Nuclear Medicine Services in Greater Glasgow and Clyde
The Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations [IR(ME)R] 2017 make it necessary for all investigations using ionising radiation to be justified on an individual patient basis. To meet this requirement, the Nuclear Medicine service have produced referral criteria which, if met, would justify a nuclear medicine procedure under most circumstances.
To view referral criteria, visit the Nuclear Medicine & PET-CT referral criteria guidelines.
All NHS GGC referrers with access to TrakCare or NHS GGC GPOCS MUST use these systems to make a referral to Nuclear Medicine services (including speciality services).
Non-NHSGGC referrers must complete this form, instructions for completing this form can be found here.
