Universal Ultrasound Diagnostics is a CQC regulated private ultrasound clinic based in Kings Norton, Birmingham. The clinic provides accessible, professional and compassionate imaging for adults and children with a clear focus on patient safety, dignity and reassurance. Its purpose is simple: to give people timely access to high quality ultrasound services in a calm, welcoming environment, while ensuring every patient feels listened to, respected and well informed throughout their visit.
The clinic offers a broad range of diagnostic ultrasound scans for men and women. Services include abdominal (including hernia, appendix and abdominal wall), pelvic, caesarean section scar, fertility, fertility with AFC, kidney and bladder, breast, breast implants, thyroid and neck, scrotal and testicular, lumps and bumps, carotid, deep vein thrombosis, groin and musculoskeletal scans. Pregnancy services include early pregnancy, reassurance, dating, gender, growth and cervical length scans. An NHS Paediatric Consultant Radiologist is also available for children, covering abdominal (including hernia, appendix and abdominal wall), kidney, thyroid and neck, scrotal, lumps & bumps and musculoskeletal (MSK- ankle and foot, hip and thigh, elbow, hand and wrist, knee).
At Universal Ultrasound Diagnostics, scans are performed by qualified and experienced professionals using modern ultrasound systems. The team includes experienced sonographers who are HCPC registered where applicable and members of professional organisations such as BMUS, alongside a Paediatric Consultant Radiologist with experience across NHS and private practice, supported by specialist clinical expertise where appropriate.
Patients can expect a clear and supportive experience from booking through to receiving their results. Appointments can be booked online and walk in appointments may be available depending on capacity. The clinic offers flexible opening hours from 8am to 11pm, Monday to Sunday, helping people attend around work, school, caring responsibilities and other commitments.
During an appointment, the sonographer explains what the scan will involve and checks relevant clinical information before beginning. Patient privacy and dignity are maintained at all times. Chaperones and interpreting support are available, and patients may be able to bring a family member or friend, depending on the type of examination and the clinic’s safety requirements. Immediate findings are discussed where appropriate, with a detailed report and images sent by email on the same day. Patients are advised to share their report with their GP for clinical correlation.
The clinic’s approach is built around compassionate, caring and respectful practice. Team members aim to reduce anxiety by communicating in plain English, answering questions and giving patients time to understand what happens next. The service does not replace emergency care or ongoing NHS treatment, and patients are advised when symptoms or findings require urgent medical assessment, GP review or referral to another healthcare professional. This responsible approach supports safe care and clear clinical boundaries.
Universal Ultrasound Diagnostics also provides additional private healthcare services, including blood testing, private GP consultations, nutrition consultations and referrals to a partner MRI and MSK provider when a different type of imaging may be more suitable. These connected services can help patients access further assessment efficiently while keeping communication coordinated and straightforward. The clinic also works with healthcare professionals and accepts GP and self referrals for appropriate ultrasound examinations.
Quality and governance are central to the organisation. Universal Ultrasound Diagnostics is regulated by the Care Quality Commission and maintains policies covering clinical safety, infection prevention and control, confidentiality, information security, equality and patient feedback. Staff are expected to follow professional standards, complete mandatory training and maintain continuing professional development. The clinic takes responsibility for service quality and encourages learning, teamwork and continuous improvement.
Many scans can be booked without a GP referral, although patients should seek medical advice when they are unsure which examination is appropriate. The administrative team can explain service options, preparation requirements and booking information before attendance.
The clinic is conveniently located at 10c The Green, Kings Norton, Birmingham, B38 8SD. It is accessible by public transport, with nearby parking options around The Green and pay and display parking close to the clinic.
