Disclaimer: Prior to undergoing any MRI Imaging procedure, all patients are advised they should consult with a GP/Healthcare Professional, involved in their ongoing care, regarding their health concerns. As a self-referring patient, you recognise that the area(s) to be scanned have been identified by myself and that MRI Plus Clinics shall only scan and report on the findings of the specific area(s) mentioned. MRI Plus Clinics will not accept any liability should the area scanned subsequently be defined as incorrect or inappropriate to any clinical symptoms or diagnosis at this time or in the future.

Cancellation policy: If, for any reason, you are unable to attend your appointment, please contact the centre at least 48 hours before your scheduled appointment time to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
Cancellation of a pre-paid appointment at least 48 hours before the scheduled appointment can be rescheduled or refunded at no cost.
If the appointment is booked within 48 hours of the scheduled appointment time, the service cost will be non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled.
If you are unable to attend and do not cancel or reschedule your appointment, please note that a ‘Missed Appointment’, ‘No Show’ or ‘Late Cancellation’ will be charged at the full service cost due to the time and resources used. The definition of ‘Missed Appointment’, ‘No Show’ or ‘Late Cancellation’ would be missing an appointment, not being on time for an appointment or failing to cancel the appointment 48 hours before the scheduled time.
If you are unable to complete the scan for any reason you will not be refunded due to the time and resources used.
If you are unable to attend due to COVID-19, we would ask you to follow the Government guidelines on self-isolating and contact us to rearrange your appointment when it is safe to do so. We may request evidence of this, so please be prepared to provide this.

MRI Plus Clinics reserve the right to refuse any referral.

12. You should understand that the imaging report may contain medical terminology that may be confusing or possibly upsetting, but neither the reporting radiologist or any staff within the MRI clinic are able to discuss the findings of the scan directly with any patient. All enquiries and/or recommendations must be explored with your GP or specialist.
13. Your GP will have the ability to contact the reporting radiologist for further information regarding your report.
