(This message is relevant to operators and anyone booking the scanners).

Access to the MRI facilities is limited to the time slot you have booked for your scanning. Do not assume that you can start 15 minutes early, over-run by 10 minutes or just pop in to test things if the scanners do not appear to be booked.

The scanners are becoming increasingly busy and the demands on the team at YNiC are increasing proportionally. Efficient time management of the scanning resources and cover are more important than ever. The staff here are often doing things in the background to support the service that means they are not available to help you out at the drop of a hat. If you require extra time for setup, testing or tweaking please ensure that you book additional time.

Anyone found in the scanner rooms outside their booked time slots will be invoiced for the additional time they have had access to the suites.

If you have any queries please drop me a line. Best wishes,

-- 


André
