For any “waiters” a reason or notation must be put in notes so that all staff are aware of the reason for the urgency and are able to follow through and accommodate according to notes.
In addition, if a “Waiter" or "Urgent" is being allocated to a certain Radiologist please also ensure that a note is made that the specific Radiologist is required to report the scan. There have been times when a Radiologist has been allocated a "waiter" and that Radiologist is either not working that day, or is not returning to the practice for at least a day, which defeats the purpose of it being a “waiter” or “urgent” report.
