Medical ultrasound services

---

There are a number of community locations across our represented CCG regions offering equity of access to all patients registered with the NHS within commissioned service regions.

We have chosen our Diagnostic Hub locations carefully in each region to ensure that the majority of patients will travel less than 15 minutes to their nearest Diagnostic Hub.

Diagnostic World provides a consultant led ultrasound service where both consultant radiologists and ultra sonographers scan patients, with specialist radiologists providing a robust clinical framework to support all of our clinicians and respond to clinical queries from referrers.

In line with service level contracts, we are commissioned to offer an appointment to patients usually within 4 weeks, but we aim to exceed this requirement and most patients are offered an appointment typically within two weeks of our receipt of patient’s referral.

Providing the service from multiple locations means that not only will patients be able to access a scan locally, but the appointment time will be very short. Our average appointment time is 5 working days, with the report back to the GP the following day.

You can refer your patients via Electronic Referral System, Ultrasonix is indirectly bookable. Ultrasonix currently has additional capacity to set up additional Diagnostic Hub locations. If you would like the service to form your practice, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Ultrasonix only utilises the best imaging equipment, to maximise the quality of results obtained. We constantly look to recruit, retain and educate the most experienced staff and actively support their constant and continued professional development. We operate a strict peer review system on examinations performed, plus individual staff appraisals.
