Is it possible to pay for a private MRI scan in the UK to bypass NHS waits?
You can. Private MRI scans are accessible across the country, and you can regularly get an appointment within a handful of days. The price typically ranges between £300 and £500 for imaging a single area. You can book one yourself or get a private referral from a consultant. Make sure the private clinic is willing to send the results to your NHS GP or specialist so your records are complete.
