You can self-refer in one of three ways:

If you are already receiving treatment, you can ask your GP, physiotherapist, osteopath or chiropractor to fill in our MRI request referral form and email it to us at private.birmingham@practiceplusgroup.com.
Once we have received your referral form we’ll be in touch with you directly, to book your scan.
