Unlike non-medical entertainment scanning studios, Imaginatal Gloucester is a fully regulated healthcare provider. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), ensuring our safety standards match those found in hospitals. When you visit our Hempsted clinic, you are in a safe, clinical environment.

 We do not use assistants or trainees. Your scan is performed exclusively by qualified sonographers who are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). Our team brings years of NHS obstetric experience, ensuring we can accurately answer your questions and provide genuine medical reassurance.

 We work to complement, not replace, the care you receive at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. Our service offers a structured referral pathway to the Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust if any anomalies are detected. This ensures you get immediate access to further assessment without administrative delays.

We invest in the best to give you the clearest view. Our clinic uses state-of-the-art GE Voluson E10 ultrasound systems. This advanced technology allows us to generate crystal-clear 4D HD Live images and provides the high-resolution clinical detail needed for early pregnancy and anomaly checks.

We are an independently owned clinic, which means we are not driven by corporate volume targets. We allocate significantly longer appointment times than standard NHS slots. This gives our sonographers ample time to check your baby thoroughly and allows for a "rescan buffer" if your baby is hiding—meaning you never feel rushed out of the room.
