Nuffield Health is a UK-wide not-for-profit healthcare charity (Companies House No. 00576970, registered charity 205533 in England and Wales) that provides DXA, also written DEXA, bone density scanning across its network of private hospitals. In London this includes Parkside Hospital at 53 Parkside, Wimbledon, SW19 5NX and Highgate Hospital at 17-19 View Road, N6 4DJ. The scan uses low-dose X-rays to measure the density of the spine, forearm or hip.
The appointment takes about 20 minutes, with the patient lying on a padded table while the scanner captures images. Nuffield Health describes the procedure as painless and asks patients to wear loose clothing without metal fastenings. A referral from a healthcare professional, such as a Nuffield Health consultant or a GP, is required before booking; referrals are emailed to the chosen hospital and the team then arranges an appointment.
Results are verified by a radiologist and sent to the referring clinician within one week. Nuffield Health states that its pricing is all-inclusive with no hidden costs and is covered by a price-match promise. Payment options include self-pay, recognised private medical insurance, and 0% personal medical loans over 10, 12 or 24 months. As the organisation is a registered charity, operating surpluses are reinvested rather than paid as dividends.
