Community Referred Radiology update
Published: 8 September 2026
Te Whatu Ora has asked us to share the attached update about the Te Manawa Taki Community Referred Radiology programme.
The update outlines work currently underway, including development of the regional CRR Hub, future PCRL roles, BPAC form updates and the Enhanced Access service.
At this stage, the main practical note for referrers is that if the ultrasound scan you want to request does not have its own tick box in BPAC, please tick Other, tick Yes to the statement “I have discussed it with a radiologist (name and role)", and include the ultrasound type requested along with all relevant clinical information.
Further updates will be shared as more detail becomes available. Send pātai/questions or feedback to communityradiologyTMT@tewhatuora.govt.nz
