What it is
A reliable, reassuring answer

Accuracy & timing
When to come
Sex can usually be determined reliably from 16 weeks; occasionally baby’s position makes it harder to be certain, in which case we’ll offer a short rescan at no extra charge. If you’d like an even earlier answer, a blood-based test can determine sex from around 10 weeks — ask us about NIPT.
More than the sex
A qualified pair of eyes
Because a trained sonographer performs the scan, we also check your baby’s wellbeing. This scan doesn’t replace your NHS dating or anomaly scans, but if anything needs a closer look we’ll explain it and refer you appropriately.

Safe, joined-up care
GMC-registered clinicians, CQC-registered clinic
You’re seen by GMC-registered clinicians at our CQC-registered Whitechapel clinic. We keep clear, confidential records and, with your consent, share a summary with your NHS GP so your care stays joined up. A chaperone is available for any examination on request, at no charge.
You don’t need to be registered with us, and private care complements — it doesn’t replace — being registered with an NHS GP.

Common questions
Still have a question? Our team can help you choose the right appointment.
How early can I find out the sex?
Reliably from about 16 weeks by ultrasound. If you’d like to know sooner, our NIPT blood test can determine sex from 10 weeks.
How accurate is it?
Very accurate from 16 weeks with a clear view. Occasionally position makes it difficult — if so, we’ll rescan you shortly at no extra cost.
Does it include a health check?
Yes — our sonographer also checks heartbeat, movement and position, though it doesn’t replace your NHS screening scans.
Can I bring family?
Absolutely — you’re welcome to bring your partner and children to share the news.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book directly. With your consent, we can write to your NHS GP so your care stays joined up.
Does a private scan replace my NHS scans?
No. Keep all your NHS dating and anomaly scans and follow your midwife’s advice — our scans are an addition to your maternity care.
How quickly can I get a women’s health appointment?
Most women’s health appointments are available within the same week, often within 1–2 days. We are open 7 days a week, 9am–7pm.
