Take control with private diagnosis
Our mission is to make private diagnostic services accessible, so you don’t need to wait unduly for the treatment you need. With state-of-the-art facilities across the UK - and no waiting lists - we offer fast access, and results within three working days for most procedures.
Understanding your body and the state of your health can give you peace of mind. And early diagnosis may mean that a course of treatment can begin earlier, potentially leading to a better prognosis.
What if I need a referral from a clinician?
While most of our procedures are available through self-referral, you might need or prefer to have a referral from a medical professional. If you want to discuss your condition with a clinician before committing to diagnostic services, for example, it could be reassuring to have an initial consultation with one of our private GPs. And in some instances, we may need more details before we confirm your appointment.
We offer a virtual private GP referral service, where you’ll talk to a clinician by phone or video call. They’ll then provide a referral letter, and there’ll be an option for a follow-up consultation to discuss your results. Click here for more information and pricing.
