How do I book a private MRI in the UK?

Follow-up explanation:

Booking a private MRI in the UK can be quick and does not require a GP referral when you use GetScanned. Choose from a nationwide network of CQC-registered clinics, select your location, the body part you want scanned and the appointment date, and confirm your booking instantly.

Once booked, you’ll speak with a doctor to discuss your symptoms and arrange the referral needed for the scan. Our team will send clear preparation instructions, including clothing and dietary notes where relevant.

MRI scans are safe and non-invasive. They create detailed images of your body’s internal structures for accurate diagnosis. After your scan, a consultant radiologist will review your images and provide a secure report, which you can share with your GP or specialist. 

Many patients choose private MRI scans for faster access and more flexible appointments than the NHS.
