Are scans and investigations for you?
Information is power when it comes to healthcare. Scans and investigations help your GP or consultant confirm a diagnosis, monitor a particular condition or give you peace of mind. This means you can begin or change treatment at the right time. If you’re feeling run-down or you have a family history of a genetic condition, tests can also offer reassurance or provide an early warning of health problems. Having the information is the first step towards reclaiming control of your health. Advances in technology and medical research mean that the number of scans and investigations that help keep you healthy or diagnose disease is growing all the time.
Why choose Spire Harpenden for your scans and investigations?
We're always investing in our equipment and facilities. Our MRI and CT scanner were both purchased in 2015, and provide state of the art scans. Whether you’re insured or paying for yourself you can get quick access to some of the latest, next generation diagnostic equipment and scanners by booking with us.
After your test we’ll send the results to your doctor straight away. We're proud to have been recognised for achieving excellence in patient care, staff training, nursing practice and healthcare outcomes.
