-After the initial rush to sort out hand-overs and get everyone home, it's just a matter of vetting and reporting scans. It's generally a good idea to have the person on the phone to report relatively short scans such as CT heads as they lose less when they inevitably get interrupted that way. Don't stress too much if there are few scans to report, just take a moment to see if any of they need urgent reporting and prioritize those that do, but really most can wait a few hours if needed. Try to chill out and enjoy some interesting radiology, with relatively little dross!+After the initial rush to sort out hand-overs and get everyone home, it's just a matter [[proc:ct_vetting|of vetting]] and reporting overwhelmingly CT scans with the occasional MR and XR. Imaging you need to report should be put in the PROCREP silo - but not all of it is with Derriford ignoring this entirely as they are special, so most people work from a day list. Make sure to check PROCREP from time to time however for those pesky NG lines.

 +When reporting on PROC shifts it is recommended you do not give advice regarding further investigations of incidental findings - describe the findings only, and add the rider "Advice on further management will be given in an addendum.". Even if you are post FRCR it is recommended that you PROV code the scan rather than give potentially wrong recommendations. This in practice varies, however unless you really know the relevant local protocol well err on the side of leaving it to the checker.

 In general, most registrars start to wind down after 0800 due to a) being very tired at that point and b) the day team being around in less than an hour, with priority placed on reporting the truly urgent imaging that needs a report now. In general, most registrars start to wind down after 0800 due to a) being very tired at that point and b) the day team being around in less than an hour, with priority placed on reporting the truly urgent imaging that needs a report now.
