Our view of the service
The Women’s Scan Clinic is an independent pregnancy scanning service which provides diagnostic scans at all stages of pregnancy. Pregnancy scanning is completed by sonographers (trained health workers who use ultrasound technology) who have received training in various aspects of fetal wellbeing.
Throughout this report we refer to pregnant women and people or service users as ‘women.’ This was the first assessment of this location since it was registered in January 2022.
In our assessment of The Women’s Scan Clinic, we found systems and processes for governance were not properly established. We identified a breach of Regulation 17: Good governance. The service did not effectively assess and monitor the service to mitigate the risks to health, safety and welfare of women using the service.
However, the staff were caring and gave women the time and attention they needed during appointments. One woman said they “had a great service and another felt “very reassured.”
