New to the clinic? Here's what to expect:

• If you've not seen us before, you will start with a short new patient consultation (£65) so we can understand your symptoms and confirm a scan is the right next step. In most cases, the scan can be carried out in the same appointment for the additional scan fee above.  When booking, please select 'New Patient Consultation.'
• Existing patients and anyone referred by a GP, physiotherapist, osteopath, podiatrist or chiropractor can book the scan directly - no consultation needed and the prices above apply. If you are referred, please contact us prior to booking. 
• You will speak directly to the clinician who performs your scan - before, during, and after.

Occasionally we may need to scan a small additional area during your appointment. This is not typically needed, but if it is, we will always let you know beforehand and agree any additional cost with you first.

Appropriately qualified medical sonographer

Did you know, in the UK ultrasound providers are currently not legally required to hold any education or training? This means you need to ensure anyone scanning you has the right training and the right qualification to do so. 

To address this issue the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) officially recommends all sonographers outside of hospital radiology departments hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Ultrasound (PgC) from a CASE-accredited university program as the minimum qualification to perform and report medical ultrasound (details here).

Only regulated professionals such as medical doctors, chiropractors, physiotherapists, midwives and podiatrists are eligible to access to CASE-accredited education programs. This is the ONLY qualification recommended by the RCR. We hold this precise qualification and are registered members of the British Medical Ultrasound Society (BMUS).

Hospital-grade imaging quality

We use the Samsung RS80A – a premium ultrasound system comparable to those used in many NHS radiology and orthopaedic departments. This provides exceptionally clear diagnostic imaging, far superior to basic portable scanners which allows us a greater level of diagnostic accuracy.

Musculoskeletal Specialist 

Your scan is performed by an MSK specialist and not just a general sonographer technician, ensuring clinical accuracy, relevance to your condition, and meaningful guidance on what to do next. You can ask us all the questions you have at the appointment.

Referrals welcome 

We are able to offer scanning through our own internal pathway but we also accept referrals from across South Wales from medical doctors, registered nurses, physiotherapists, podiatrists, osteopaths and chiropractors. Please contact us if you are being referred, prior to booking.
