Window to the Womb is part of a national franchise network but is independently owned and managed by the registered manager, who is also responsible for the day-to-day operation of the service and regulatory compliance. The service is a diagnostic pregnancy scanning clinic providing a range of ultrasound scans and blood testing services for people during pregnancy. Appointments can be booked online or by telephone, and a range of scan packages are available to support people and their families throughout their pregnancy journey. Services are delivered by appropriately trained staff, including qualified sonographers, within a comfortable and welcoming environment. Where required, people were referred to appropriate NHS services and healthcare providers through established referral pathways.
