If this is an emergency

This service is not for emergencies and we cannot respond to one. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, contact emergency services on 999 or go to your nearest hospital immediately. For urgent advice that is not an emergency, call NHS 111.

What a second opinion is

Our reports are written by consultant radiologists registered with the General Medical Council. A report is a radiologist’s opinion on the scan images and the information you give us. It is meant to help you and your doctors understand your scan.

What it cannot do

It is not a substitute for being seen by a doctor. The radiologist does not examine you and may not have your full medical history.
It does not replace the report from the hospital or clinic that did your scan, or your treating doctor’s advice.
It is only as complete as the images and information we receive.

Clinical responsibility

Your treating doctor remains responsible for your care. Please share your report with your GP or consultant and discuss it with them before making any decision about treatment.
