Why choose Hey Baby 4D Southend for your pregnancy scans? ✨
We know a lot of you will have seen the recent media coverage surrounding unregulated scanning clinics across the UK.
Understandably this maybe be causing some concern & panic amongst expectant parents. Here at Hey Baby 4D Southend we just want to reassure you about the policies we have in place to ensure your experience is a safe one 💖
Qualified professionals: Our scans are only ever performed by qualified and highly experienced Sonographers. The health and wellbeing of our customers and their babies will always be our top priority. Our sonographers are all registered with recognised bodies such as BMUS, HCPC, RCT or SoR 👩🏽⚕️
CQC: We are proudly registered, inspected & regulated by the Care Quality Commission and carry a ‘GOOD’ rating. We work to incredibly stringent policies and protocols to maintain the highest standard of service for our local families, which has been recognised by this governing body ✅
Referral Pathways: Our sonographers will refer you to the NHS if they see any potential concern. We are always here to answer any questions and we’ll never let you leave our clinic without discussing the appropriate course or action & where you can find support 🏥
We strongly agree with the call from the SoR for Sonographer to become a protected job title in the UK in the same way as radiographer. That would mean only those who are properly qualified and registered with a regulatory body would be allowed to use that job description. We always advise checking the service you wish to visit is registered with the CQC. If the service is not registered with them they may be practising illegally.
It’s also very important you keep all your routine appointments & scans with the NHS 🗓️
Any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team 🫶🏼
