We welcome referrals from doctors and
other medical professionals, such as physiotherapists, chiropractors
and osteopaths. We also, of course, welcome self referrals, although
they only have direct access to imaging techniques (MRI and ultrasound)
which do not use ionizing radiation. The reason for this is simple.
Current UK and European legislation dictate that imaging tests, which
do use ionizing radiation, must be requested by a doctor or appropriate
deputy. These tests are:
X-rays
Contrast and fluoroscopy examinations
Mammography
CT scanning
Nuclear medicine & isotope scanning
PET scanning
If you are planning to self refer but you still have some questions
about what is and isn't available then please get
in touch and we'll give you all the advice that you need.
