1. About Sonographic Ultrasound

Sonographic Ultrasound provides:

* Diagnostic ultrasound imaging
* Professional assessment and opinion

All services are provided for diagnostic, informational, and educational purposes only.

2. Clinical Scope of Service

Sonographic Ultrasound:

* Provides ultrasound assessment and professional opinion only
* Does NOT prescribe medication
* Does NOT administer dissolving agents or medical treatment
* Does NOT replace your GP, prescriber, or emergency services

All prescribing, treatment decisions, and clinical management remain the responsibility of the treating qualified prescriber or healthcare professional.

Ultrasound findings must be interpreted alongside full clinical assessment.

If you experience urgent symptoms such as severe pain, visual disturbance, skin blanching, neurological symptoms, or suspected vascular compromise, you must seek immediate NHS medical care via 111 or 999.

3. Client Suitability

Our services may not be suitable for everyone.

You must not attend if:

* You have an untreated infection or open wound in the scan area
* You are medically unstable
* You require urgent emergency care
* A clinician has advised against ultrasound assessment

We reserve the right to:

* Decline or postpone appointments for safety
* Convert an appointment to consultation only
* Refuse scanning where clinically inappropriate

Where scanning cannot proceed due to undisclosed medical information, refunds are not guaranteed.

4. Mandatory Health Questionnaire

All clients must complete a health questionnaire prior to their appointment.

* The questionnaire must be completed fully and truthfully
* Failure to complete it may result in cancellation or delay
* If responses indicate the service is unsuitable, we may postpone or decline the appointment

Providing inaccurate information may affect eligibility for refunds or rescheduling.

Completion of this questionnaire forms part of informed consent.

5. Accuracy of Information

Where applicable:

* Reports will be sent to the email address provided at booking, unless otherwise agreed
* Clients are responsible for ensuring contact details are correct

With your consent, or where referral is made by a practitioner, findings may be shared with the referring clinician.

We do not prescribe or administer dissolving medication.
