Welcome to the PenRAD Imaging Network

The Peninsula Radiology Imaging Network  - PenRAD for short - is a collaboration of providers of NHS imaging services in the south-west peninsula.

The network's purpose is to bring about the transformation of imaging services across the area.

The network supports the delivery of the NHS England South West vision for imaging services:

All patients in the South West will have convenient, prompt access to the right investigations at the right time with prompt reporting and follow-up.
