For health professionals

Part of your clinical team, not a separate service

We deliver imaging for GPs, hospital consultants, physiotherapists, sports medicine professionals and allied health professionals. Our reports are designed to support your decision-making, and our referral centre is on hand to discuss cases and onward pathways.

Why refer to us

Reporting that drives clear clinical action

Subspecialist reporting

MSK, neuro, uro-radiology, cardiac and oncology, reported by radiologists in their area of expertise.

Fast turnaround

Private and self-pay scans are typically reported within one to five working days. Routine NHS reporting runs to the commissioned standard, and anything urgent is escalated the same day.

Clinician portal

Instant online access to patient images and reports, wherever you are.

Actionable reporting

Every report carries a clear recommendation and onward route, not just a description of findings.

Capacity when you need it

Approved on the NHS SBS framework with direct call-off. Fleet available staffed or unstaffed.

Rooms & revenue share

Free clinic rooms at selected sites for partner clinicians, and revenue-share models for private pathways.

Referral pathways

How to route a patient

NHS patients

GP or health professional referral via our referral centre. Direct-to-test pathways for MSK, prostate, memory, breathlessness and NSS.

Private patients

Referral from any registered health professional. Patients paying for themselves may self-refer for MRI only, if they are 18 or over.

Self-pay patients

Patients aged 18 and over can refer themselves for MRI and book directly. Every other scan needs a referral from a registered health professional.

Imaging access

Secure access for referring clinicians

Our secure cloud-based portal lets you view patient images and reports wherever you are, so you can respond more effectively to your patients' needs.

Make a referral

Straightforward, seven days a week

Refer by phone, email or through our online referral form. Once received, we triage, book the patient into the most appropriate appointment, and confirm to both you and the patient.

Phone01293 534 043Open 7 days: Mon–Fri 8am–6.30pm, Sat–Sun 8am–4pm
Emailmip.bookingsteam@nhs.netNHS referrals. For private and self-pay, mipbookings.private@nhs.net
What we need: your name and GMC number (or your professional registration number); patient name, DOB and contact details; the clinical question; relevant history; modality (or leave us to triage); urgency (routine, urgent, or 2-week wait); and funding (NHS, PMI with insurer and policy number, or self-pay).

What happens next

We triage your referral, book the patient into the most appropriate appointment, and send confirmation to you and the patient. Most patients are offered an appointment within 7 days. Private and self-pay reports typically reach you within one to five working days of the scan; NHS reporting runs to the commissioned standard, and urgent findings are escalated the same day.
