Refurbishment of X-Ray Room at Harold Wood Polyclinic
X-Ray Equipment replacement
There will be no X-Ray services at Harold Wood Polyclinic from Thursday 20 February 2025 to Friday, 11 April 2025. This is due to the planned replacement of the X-Ray equipment as part of the Trust’s commitment to modernise and improve our imaging equipment across all our sites. The X-Ray equipment at Harold Wood has experienced repeated breakdowns impacting patient experience due to patients being diverted to other sites. Once completed this replacement work will provide a welcome improvement for patients at Harold Wood Polyclinic.
Why are we making this change?
- Reduced risks of equipment breakdowns and prolonged downtimes
- Faster image processing time
- Better quality images
- Reduction in examination delays
- Improved patient and staff experience
