ABOUT
OUR CLINIC
​
​
We are not providing our formal full 4D/HD scans during the current lockdown. Scan time needs to be kept to a minimum; as 4D/HD scanning can take time this is not something we feel we can offer during at this time. We are however able to show you baby in 4D/HD if they are lying in a good position at the time of the scan, as long as it does not impact on scan time, the primary purpose of the scan is the well-being of your baby.
​
We can still provide dating, early reassurance and growth scans and confirm the gender of baby from 15 weeks.
Your partner or one person from your support bubble may attend with you. No children are permitted at this time.
​
You are still able to book your scan on our Book Now page, the available scans are listed there.
