The way I've seen it work, you get a referral from a private doctor to an MRI scanning service (maybe part of a private hospital). Normally you pay for the private doctors appointment, to get that appointment you're normally registered with them on an annual retainer.
How do I go about getting a private MRI scan for a fucked knee ligament?
It’s been a week since I was seen by NHS specialist who prescribed an MRI scan, but the appointment hasn’t materialised, could be weeks.
In the mean time, I’m freaking out about permanent damage.
Never had any private medical treatments before, no idea where to start...
