Our Story

Doctor-led private imaging, created to give patients clearer guidance, faster access and greater confidence at every stage.

About PrivateScans

A simpler, safer route to private diagnostic imaging

PrivateScans was created by clinicians who understand how stressful it can feel when symptoms are unexplained, waiting times are long, or it is unclear which scan is clinically appropriate. Our purpose is to make private imaging easier to access without removing the clinical judgement that keeps patients safe.

We combine a nationwide network of trusted private hospitals and imaging centres with doctor-led guidance before and after your scan. Patients can search for a convenient scan, compare clear prices and start their journey online, while our clinical team helps confirm the most suitable imaging pathway and supports referral where appropriate.

Our approach is designed for patients who want speed, clarity and reassurance, but also want to know that their care is being handled responsibly by experienced UK doctors.

Why we built PrivateScans

Medical imaging can provide vital answers, but the process of arranging a scan can often feel fragmented. Patients may be unsure what they need, where to go, how much it will cost, or what happens after the report arrives.

Clinical guidance first

Our doctors help patients think through symptoms, scan options and next steps, so imaging is arranged with appropriate clinical context rather than treated as a simple transaction.

Clear access and pricing

We aim to make scan choices easier to understand, with transparent pricing, convenient locations and a straightforward booking process.

Support after results

PrivateScans includes follow-up support so patients are not left alone with medical terminology or uncertainty after their scan report is issued.

Clinical leadership

Led by doctors, built around patient trust

PrivateScans has been developed by a group of local clinicians led by Dr Sandhu, with a commitment to safe, accessible and clinically responsible private imaging.

Our medical team includes UK-trained doctors with qualifications including BMBS, BMedSci and Membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners (MRCGP). Many of our doctors also practise as NHS GPs, bringing broad clinical experience, practical judgement and a patient-centred approach to every consultation.

That background matters. A scan should be chosen for the right clinical reason, reported by an appropriate specialist and followed by clear advice about what the findings may mean. Our role is to help patients move from concern to clarity with careful, professional support.

Our network

Who we are partnered with

We have worked continuously to develop a broad network of private imaging providers, giving patients access to more than 100 centres nationwide.

Our network includes private hospitals and established imaging clinics offering MRI, CT, ultrasound, X-Ray, echocardiogram, mammogram and DEXA services. By working with trusted providers across the UK, we can help patients find suitable appointments closer to home, often with faster access than traditional routes.

Every patient journey remains clinically guided. We focus on matching the right scan, at the right location, with the right follow-up support so patients receive a clear and reliable pathway from booking to results.
