1. Introduction and Agreement
Welcome to Scanbook, a service operated by Connective Ltd ("Scanbook", "we", "us", or "our"), a company registered in England and Wales under company number 11148446, with registered office at Unit Da2 Sutherland House, 43 Sutherland Road, London, E17 6BU, United Kingdom.
Scanbook is an online marketplace that enables patients to search, compare, and book private diagnostic imaging and medical scan appointments at regulated, independent healthcare providers across the United Kingdom. Scanbook does not provide medical services directly; we act as a technology intermediary connecting patients with CQC-registered imaging providers.
By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform.
2. Eligibility
The Platform is available to persons aged 18 years and over who are residents of the United Kingdom. You may book a scan on behalf of another person, provided you have their authority to do so and accept responsibility for ensuring their personal information is provided accurately.
3. Important Disclaimer - Scanbook is Not a Medical Provider
Scanbook is a booking facilitator only. We are not a medical service provider and do not operate, manage, or control any imaging centre, diagnostic facility, or clinical service.
All medical services, including scans, imaging procedures, and reports, are provided solely by the independent Clinic you book with. Scanbook has no influence over clinical decisions, scan protocols, or radiological reports.
Nothing on the Platform constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or clinical recommendation. You should always consult a qualified medical professional regarding your health and any scan results.
4. Bookings and Appointments
To make a booking, you must provide accurate personal details, select the scan type and preferred Clinic, and complete payment via our secure payment processor Stripe. A booking is confirmed only once you receive written confirmation from Scanbook.
Once your booking is confirmed, the relevant Clinic is responsible for scheduling and performing your appointment. Scanbook does not guarantee any specific appointment date or time; all scheduling is subject to the Clinic's availability.
Scan images and radiological reports are produced by the Clinic and/or independent radiologists. Scanbook has no influence over, and does not guarantee the timeliness of, these outputs.
Many scans on the Platform can be booked without a GP referral. Where a referral is required or recommended, Scanbook may introduce you to a partner GP for a remote consultation.
5. Payments and Pricing
All payments are processed securely via Stripe. Prices are displayed in GBP and are inclusive of any applicable taxes. Prices may change at any time; the price displayed at the time of booking is the price you pay.
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
6. Cancellation and Refund Policy
You may cancel your booking subject to the following terms:
- Cancellation more than 48 hours before your appointment: full refund.
- Cancellation within 48 hours of your appointment: no refund.
- Did Not Attend without cancellation: no refund. If a second DNA occurs for a rebooked appointment, an additional £50 administration fee may apply.
- If a Clinic cancels or is unable to fulfil your appointment, Scanbook will make reasonable efforts to offer an alternative Clinic or a full refund.
- Approved refunds will be processed within 5-10 working days to your original payment method.
