Date of assessment: 12 August 2026.
The Mary How Trust is an independent healthcare service registered to provide diagnostic and screening services. It offers nurse-led health screening appointments for people who are not experiencing symptoms and are not currently under investigation by their GP. These appointments include blood tests, an electrocardiogram (ECG), pulse and blood pressure measurements, urine testing, and bowel screening. Patients are also provided with advice and guidance to support and improve their general health and wellbeing. The service also provides ultrasound screening appointments, including abdominal ultrasounds and pelvic ultrasounds for women. Access to the service is available through a voluntary payment model, with contributions based on everyone’s financial ability to pay.
The service was previously assessed in 2021 under a predecessor registration and was rated requires improvement.

This assessment looked at diagnostic imaging, which we rated as good. This is the only assessment service group for this provider.
The rating of The Mary How Trust has changed to good. At this assessment we identified no breaches of regulations.
