Now that all bookings are made through the bookings system on our new website, the entire process is fully automated.

Once you have booked your appointment and paid your non-refundable deposit, you will receive a confirmation email from the system. This email is your appointment date/time and the clinic address, so please keep it safe!

As our booking system is fully automated, you will NOT receive any additional confirmation documents or emails from us in the office, as you would have done before we introduced this new system.

If you haven't received your confirmation email, please check your spam or junk mail folder before contacting us. Please also make sure that you enter your email address correctly at the time of booking to ensure this confirmation and any other booking email reaches you.

Thank you for your understanding and welcome to the digital age!

Despite the current hot weather, all OsteoscanUK scan clinics are continuing as normal and appointments are going ahead as scheduled.

If you are attending a clinic, please allow extra time for your journey, particularly if travelling during the warmest part of the day or on busy roads.

We recommend staying well-hydrated before, during and after your trip, carrying a bottle of water with you, and wearing light, comfortable clothing where possible.

Both Nick and Alison Johnson look forward to welcoming you and we all appreciate your cooperation in helping everyone stay safe and comfortable during the warm weather.
