Privacy Policy

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Please note that all diagnostic services previously provided by London Diagnostic Centre
(LDC) continue to be provided by London Diagnostic Centre Limited. All of our services are
diagnostic and you ( or your referrer) will be provided with a written report and
recommendation result within 24 hrs. You must be at least 18 years old ( if under 18 must be
accompanied by an adult)at the time of booking your test and you should inform us of any
existing medical condition or pregnancy, as well as any treatment pending related to the
services you are booking. If you are in any doubt about having any type of test, you should
consult your GP, Consultant or Midwife. We do not carry out pregnancy related scans.

At the time of registering at the clinic, we take your GP or other healthcare professional’s
contact details and, on the occasion that your test outcome is a medical follow-up
recommendation, the practitioner carrying out your test will act upon their “duty of care”
towards you and provide a copy report to your GP or other healthcare professional with your
consent and approval. Note that this may take up to 48 hours with weekend appointments.
The protocol used by LDC for its ultrasound scans has never been shown to cause harm and
we use the As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) principle when scanning.
People are often concerned about being exposed to radiation during an X-ray. However, the
part of your body being examined will only be exposed to a low level of radiation for a
fraction of a second.
Generally, the amount of radiation you're exposed to during an X-ray is the equivalent to
between a few days and a few years of exposure to natural radiation from the environment.
Being exposed to X-rays does carry a risk of causing cancer many years or decades later, but
this risk is thought to be very small.
For example, an X-ray of your chest, limbs or teeth is equivalent to a few days' worth of
background radiation, and has less than a 1 in 1,000,000 chance of causing cancer. For more
information, see GOV.UK: patient dose information.

The benefits and risks of having an X-ray will be weighed up before it's recommended. Talk
to your doctor or radiographer about the potential risks beforehand, if you have any concerns
