Our view of the service
Date of Assessment 1 July 2025
Numi Scan Ltd - Stansted baby scan clinic offers a range of 2D, 3D and 4D obstetric ultrasound services to expectant parents. Their services include early pregnancy reassurance scans and gender reveal scans, growth and well-being monitoring and non-invasive prenatal testing from as early as 7 weeks into pregnancy. The registered manager also offers vascular screening.
The clinic is staffed by a qualified sonographer who is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
The last inspection was in November 2019, and we rated the service overall Requires Improvement. We found 2 breaches of the regulations in relation to governance and staffing. At this assessment in June 2025, the location was again rated Requires Improvement for continued breaches of governance and staffing. In addition, there was a breach in regulation for infection prevention and control.
There was a lack of robust systems to check and improve care. Risks were not well managed. The registered manager did not ensure ongoing training and service users were not fully involved in their care. Overall governance processes were not effective in identifying or addressing areas for improvement.
However, feedback from service users was overwhelmingly positive and there had been no recorded incidents or concerns.
In instances where CQC has begun a process of regulatory action, we may publish this information on our website after any representations and/or appeals have been concluded, if the action has been taken forward.
