From 1st April 2025, you can now book your routine X-ray online!
If your clinician referrers you for a routine X-ray, Southend Hospital will be in touch within two working days. Depending on the type of examination, you may receive a text message, inviting you to make an appointment using the booking portal called ‘Swiftqueue’.
Please follow the instructions to login / register an account. You will then be able to book an appointment which is most convenient for you, without the need of contacting the hospital directly.
If you have not heard from the hospital after two working days, please contact the Hospital’s Radiology Appointments team directly – contact details can be found on the Mid and South Essex Hospitals’ website.
If you do not wish to be contacted via text message or Swiftqueue, please let your GP know so that they can arrange for the Radiology booking team to contact you directly.
If you do not respond to the invitation to book your appointment, Swiftqueue will send three reminder text messages. If after this, the invite is not responded to, or the appointment has not been booked within 10 days, the referral will be managed by the booking team who will contact you directly.
