How It Works

How do I get referred?
Any registered GP or healthcare professional can refer you for imaging. They simply need to complete and send us the Private Patient Referral Form (available on request or downloadable from our website).

How quickly can I get an appointment?
We aim to review and schedule your appointment within 7 days of receiving your completed referral.

How soon will I get my results?
A detailed radiology report is typically completed and sent out within 48 hours of your scan.

Who receives the results?
The results are securely sent to your referring clinician, who will review the findings with you and guide your next steps.
