The Single Queue Diagnostic Pathway (SQD) means that patients who need certain types of further tests are able to have the first appointment that’s available, even if it’s not at their usual hospital.

If you or a loved one have been offered tests on the SQD pathway, you can find more information on this page, including a patient leaflet, and some leaflets from each of the different hospitals.
