Why choose us

Your scan is read in Bristol - and only by one of our Consultant Radiologists

Your scan is supervised and reported by a named Consultant Radiologist who are all Fellows of the Royal College of Radiologists — not a junior doctor, not an outsourced reporting service, and not an AI algorithm.

We are an independent medical partnership owned and run by five doctors, not a large corporate firm. That means direct clinical communication and radiologists who are personally invested in the quality of every scan they report.

1

Get a referral from your doctor

Ask your GP or specialist to refer you to us. A referral from a GP or specialist is always required before we can accept a booking — we are unable to accept self-referrals from patients.

2

Book your appointment

Spire or Nuffield Hospitals Bristol will usually find you an appointment within days, not weeks.

3

Receive your report

Your scan is personally reported by a Consultant Radiologist and sent securely to you and your referring doctor.
