Staff in many locations are qualified to take blood tests: ideal for those undertaking IVF or other health procedures.

Booking a scan with Ultrasound Direct is easy: you can either come to us through self referral or GP referral. The NHS also commissions some of our ultrasound services in some regions.

20 years of caring

Ultrasound Direct is the brainchild of husband and wife Mike and Jan Steward. Sharing a passion for innovation, they have channelled their drive into creating more convenient and professional services for people receiving ultrasounds.

They created the first Babybond^® scan in 1998 to give pregnant women more choice when accessing ultrasound appointments.

At the time, Jan had been working as a sonographer for the NHS for 15 years and recognised that many women wanted longer scan appointments. She felt it was important that women didn’t feel rushed at what is often an emotional moment during pregnancy. She remains committed to meeting the needs of expectant women.

Mike spent many years working on ultrasound equipment as an engineer and gained a huge amount of technical and business expertise. He even worked on the first 3D scanners in 1994.

Although Ultrasound Direct initially only offered baby scans, the range of ultrasound scans was opened up in 2011 to include a private scans for men and women to help with the diagnosis of a range of conditions.
