Graphs, charts, fabulous drawings - whatever it takes. If social distancing were a drug we would be queuing up to buy it (2 metres apart at all times)

Plus the @RoyalFreeNHS @RUHBath @BSTImaging 3-step CT request vetting tool is proving invaluable - now digitally embedded across the Trust for ALL CT, MRI and US requests #triedandtrusted these methods really work bsti.org.uk
