Wilmslow Health Centre has provided Non-Obstetric Ultrasound scanning and Echocardiography services since 2008.
Any NHS patient can be referred by their GP into the service for diagnostic ultrasound scans such as:
- General abdominal – e.g liver, biliary tract, gallbladder, kidneys, pancreas, retro peritoneum and spleen
- Gynaecology – including trans abdominal and trans vaginal
- Renal / bladder / prostate
- Testicular / Scrotal
- Musculoskeletal (Muscles, tendons, joints, lumps, etc.)
- Thyroid
as well as echocardiography.
We have recently laid on more clinics to help reduce the backlog of ultrasound and echo referrals across Cheshire.
Appointment times for scans are spread across the week, including Saturday mornings, to minimise disruption to patients’ working lives and scans are performed by Consultant Radiologists and Sonographers who also hold substantive posts within NHS Trusts.
