New MRI service at Practice Plus Group Surgical Centre

This will bring advanced diagnostic imaging closer to home and help patients access answers without unnecessary delays.
The surgical centre is a state-of-the-art, purpose-built facility specialising in providing day-case minor elective surgery. 
A spokesperson said: "As part of Practice Plus group, one of the country’s largest independent providers of NHS and private healthcare, we offer a wide range of treatments, including orthopaedic surgery, ophthalmology, gynaecology (women’s health), urology (men’s health), various hernia surgeries, ENT, endoscopy and diagnostic imaging. 
"Our expert teams provide high quality care with short waiting times for both NHS patients in England and private patients from England and Wales.
"Whether you are a self-funded patient or covered by a Private Medical Insurance provider, you can refer yourself to our private diagnostic services in Wiltshire. 
"When something doesn’t feel right, whether it’s persistent joint pain, a sports injury, back problems or unexplained symptoms, having a clear diagnosis is often the first step towards effective treatment."
The introduction of MRI at Devizes Surgical Centre means patients across the region can now benefit from convenient access to this highly effective diagnostic tool, with appointments designed to fit around work, family commitments and busy lifestyles. 
Fast access to imaging can provide reassurance, reduce uncertainty and support quicker treatment decisions.
The spokesperson added: "A simple scan could give you the answers you need. Fast."
MRI scans are particularly valuable for investigating orthopaedic, musculoskeletal and soft tissue conditions, offering detailed images of muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints and other soft tissues without the use of radiation, helping clinicians understand the cause of symptoms and recommend the most appropriate care. 
The average waiting time for a scan appointment is one to two weeks, and the facility provides free on-site parking and disabled access.
The spokesperson said: "In addition to the new MRI service at Devizes Surgical Centre, we provide Ultrasound and X-ray services. 
"Patients also have access to a wider range of diagnostic imaging including CT and CBCT scans, Practice Plus Group Emersons Green Hospital and Shepton Mallet Hospital, supporting the investigation of a variety of bone, structural and dental conditions.
"Together, these services provide patients with fast access to expert diagnostic imaging, helping to deliver the answers they need and supporting the next steps towards treatment, recovery and greater peace of mind."
The X-ray, CT and CBCT services require a referral from a GMC registered clinician or an approved non-medical referrer (NMR) registered healthcare professional.
