Peninsula Radiology On-Call

Peninsula Radiology On-Call (PROC) provides overnight radiology reporting services for the peninsula. This service is delivered by registrars and has become well-established, delivering a high-quality service.

PROC launched at the beginning of September 2015, and focuses on emergency CT and MRI scans carried out between 9pm and 9am. PROC has no direct employees but is staffed by radiology specialty registrars. A service level agreement between the peninsula trusts enables registrars to work across sites, allowing registrars to provide the on-call service from their base hospital.

PROC is estimated to have saved an estimated £1.3m in 2021-22 from reduced outsourcing costs.

PenRAD supports the PROC Oversight Group to optimise and support PROC, with a membership including registrars, PROC Clinical Lead, Head of School and college tutors.
