Do you need a referral for a private ultrasound?

A clinical referral is required before booking a private ultrasound scan. This can be a referral from your own GP, an NHS GP, or any outside clinician, or you can book an appointment with our internal GP first, who can provide the referral for you.

How ultrasound works

Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to build a real-time picture of the organs, tissues and blood flow inside the body. A small handheld probe is moved over the skin with a little gel, and the echoes are turned into images on a screen.

Because it uses sound rather than radiation, ultrasound is completely safe and can be repeated as often as needed. It is often the first-line test for abdominal and pelvic pain, lumps and swellings, and many joint and soft-tissue problems.
