You don't need an NHS referral. You book a private GP consultation with us — the GP assesses you and arranges the right scan and referral.

How much does an MRI cost?

Prices are fixed and competitive and depend on the area scanned. Enquire with your scan area and we'll give you a clear quote.

How quickly can I be scanned?

Appointments are usually available within days, with a consultant report typically within 48 hours.
