Diagnostic ultrasound, without the hospital appointment. A qualified sonographer performs the scan at home, our medical team reviews the findings, and a formal report goes to your referring clinician within an agreed turnaround — urgent findings escalated the same day.
Is this right for me?
A scan has been requested but travelling is difficult
An elderly or bedbound relative needs imaging at home
You want selected diagnostic imaging without a hospital trip
A clinician has recommended an ultrasound
This is not an emergency service. If someone has chest pain, stroke signs, severe breathing difficulty, heavy bleeding or collapse, call 999 or go to A&E. We work alongside the NHS, not instead of it.
What can we help with?
Selected diagnostic ultrasound examinations at home
Scans for appropriate clinical indications
Imaging for patients who struggle to travel
Report to the requesting clinician
Selected diagnostic ultrasound examinations may be available at home, depending on the clinical indication and equipment requirements.
