Services
Fertility Scans
Our fertility scans assess reproductive health through detailed pelvic imaging and hormone testing. These diagnostic services help determine ovarian reserve, monitor follicle development, and evaluate uterine health. Patients receive comprehensive reports with clinical recommendations, supporting both natural conception efforts and assisted reproductive technologies like IVF.
Pregnancy Scans
From early viability checks to 4D bonding experiences, our pregnancy scans provide crucial developmental monitoring. Services include dating scans, anomaly detection, and gender determination with NHS-standard diagnostic accuracy. All scans include immediate report provision and follow-up guidance when required.
Health Scans
Our musculoskeletal and internal organ assessments use advanced ultrasound technology for accurate diagnosis. Services cover joint evaluations, vascular screenings, and abdominal organ examinations. Each scan includes immediate written documentation and digital image access for onward referral to primary care providers.
Blood Tests
We offer comprehensive blood testing services for fertility markers, general health indicators, and infectious disease screening. All collections performed by phlebotomy-trained professionals, with samples analysed by UKAS-accredited laboratories. Results provided directly to patients for GP discussion.
4D Bonding Scans
These specialised scans create real-time 4D visualisations of unborn babies between 24-34 weeks. Using advanced ultrasound technology, parents can observe fetal movements in detail. The service includes thermal prints and digital recordings for lasting keepsakes.

I had 2 scans with you last year and now my boy is 3 months old. I also recommended you to pregnant friends that were as pleased with the Scan as me. I would definitely recommend babybond for any baby scans!
