Private diagnostics and imaging
Diagnostic clinics provide scans and tests that help diagnose and monitor health conditions — private MRI, CT and ultrasound imaging, X-rays, and blood and pathology testing. Imaging and diagnostic providers in England are registered with and inspected by the Care Quality Commission, and reputable pathology laboratories are accredited by UKAS.
Why people choose private diagnostics
- Speed — quicker access to a scan or test than some NHS waiting times.
- Choice — book directly for certain tests, often with rapid results.
- Peace of mind — health checks and screening for reassurance.
Referrals and results
Some scans and tests can be booked directly; others need a referral from a GP or consultant, particularly where results require clinical interpretation. A good provider will explain how and when you will get your results, and will share them with your GP or specialist where appropriate so your care is joined up.
Choosing a provider
Check the provider's CQC registration and, for laboratory testing, UKAS accreditation. A scan or test is only as useful as the clinical interpretation behind it. This page is information only and not medical advice — discuss any results and what they mean with a qualified clinician.
