Booking & Referrals FAQ’s
Do you have a clinic in Sheffield?
We're based at AMT Headingley Rugby Stadium in Leeds, around a 45-minute drive or a direct train from Sheffield. Many of our patients from Sheffield and South Yorkshire choose us for fast, same-day appointments and clear clinical reporting.
Do I need a GP referral to book a scan?
No. While we accept referrals from GPs and consultants, we also offer a self-referral service for many scan types under our Non-Medical Referral Policy.
Specifically for adults aged 18+ for selected scans, such as Musculoskeletal MRI and non-emergency Neurological imaging, our clinical team will review your request to ensure the scan is appropriate for your symptoms.
What types of scans can I book myself?
Under our self-referral policy, you can book scans for:
- MSK: Spine, upper limbs and lower limbs.
- Neurological: Non-emergency Brain MRI for headaches or dizziness.
- Whole Body: General wellness and diagnostic scans.
Are there any scans you do not offer via self-referral?
Yes. We cannot accept self-referrals for children under 18, emergency conditions such as suspected strokes, or scans requiring contrast-enhanced injections.
If you require a referral for your scan, we can provide an appointment with a private GP at an additional cost.
Is this service available to NHS patients?
We are currently a dedicated private diagnostic provider. This allows us to offer rapid appointment times, often within 24–48 hours, without the usual clinical waiting lists.
Availability to NHS patients will be coming soon.
How do I pay for my scan?
We accept all major credit and debit cards, including payment plans from providers like Klarna, ClearPay or PayPal. Private health insurances are not supported yet.
What makes our scanner different?
We utilise a Siemens Wide Bore scanner. Traditional MRI machines can feel cramped; a Wide Bore design provides significantly more headspace and a wider opening.
This is the gold standard for patient comfort and is ideal for larger patients or those who feel anxious in confined spaces.
Is it suitable for sports injuries?
Absolutely. While we provide a full range of general diagnostic imaging, including brain, spine and abdominal scans, our location and technology are optimised for musculoskeletal and sports imaging.
This provides the high-resolution detail required by elite athletes and specialists.
You’re in safe,
expert hands.
From your initial booking to your final results, we manage both safety and logistics so you can focus entirely on your health.
Our calm diagnostic environment, extended availability and specialist-led approach help make advanced MRI imaging simple, supportive and reassuring.
