We follow the Royal College of Radiologists evidence-based indications for the use of PET-CT in the United Kingdom 2022 and their recommendations for cross-sectional imaging in cancer management (i-Refer).
Who can make a referral
All medically-qualified hospital doctors with GMC registration can make a referral for a PET-CT scan. If you are a resident doctor, the consultant in charge of the patient should be identified as being the referrer.
Non-medic referrals from outside The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre are not possible currently.
How to refer a patient
Please use the PET-CT request form for referrals to our Liverpool and Wirral PET-CT services and email it to our PET-CT team.
If you have any problems accessing the form, email our PET-CT team to ask for a copy.
