QUDI 08-09 will focus on achieving improvements to diagnostic imaging services through the provision of accurate, up-to-date information on the appropriateness and safety of diagnostic imaging to referrers, providers and consumers of diagnostic imaging services.
This will be achieved through the implementation of a number of well designed, evidence-based projects. Close management of the projects will be required to support and administer a significant program of work in less than 12 months.
