How do I book a private MRI provider? Good ones in Glasgow?

Hi all,

I'm waiting on an NHS MRI scan to rule of a serious spinal condition called "cauda equina" I may have sustained 6 weeks ago and it appears that I may have to wait 4-6 weeks further for my MRI scan.

Anyway, my questions are:

1) What is the quickest way to get an MRI scan privately in Scotland (although I can travel UK-wide if needed and would love to travel to London or somewhere if meant a QUICK scan and interpretation).

2) What are the providers names?

3) How do I book and arrange such a thing? Does this include interpretation.


Thanks

    1. Book a private one, there's enough round Scotland as I've looked into it myself.

    2. Bupa, Spire etc are the 'big' / 'known' names.

    3. Look online, the websites say what to and what's included.
