Bill Fraser from South Tees Hospital NHS Foundation Trust asks:

“Does anyone have any experience of problems with chest x-ray results carried out abroad at Foreign Office recognised centres?  We have recently had 2 cases where on referral to TB service on the basis of a positive IGRA their CXR was abnormal but had been reported as normal abroad. Are people repeating CXR in new starters from abroad?”
