Patients considering knee replacement, hip replacement, shoulder surgery, ACL reconstruction or spinal surgery through My Medical Gateway (MMG) can now benefit from one of the UK’s leading diagnostic imaging services. Through a new partnership with Scan.com, MMG patients receive an exclusive 10% discount on MRI, CT and ultrasound scans, together with access to a nationwide network of imaging centres, helping them move more quickly from diagnosis to consultant review and ultimately to treatment.
At MMG, we have always believed that arranging treatment abroad should be every bit as straightforward as arranging treatment at home. That means looking beyond the operating theatre itself and carefully considering every stage of the patient’s journey, from the first enquiry through diagnosis and treatment to recovery.
It is why we are delighted to announce our partnership with Scan.com, one of the UK’s leading independent diagnostic imaging platforms. More than simply arranging scans, Scan.com has transformed the way thousands of patients access private diagnostic imaging by combining technology, clinical expertise and a nationwide network of accredited imaging providers into one simple, patient-friendly service.
For MMG patients, this means access to a trusted diagnostics partner, together with an exclusive 10% discount on MRI, CT and ultrasound scans through a dedicated MMG referral pathway.
Why diagnostics matter
Before an orthopaedic surgeon can confirm that a patient is suitable for surgery, high-quality diagnostic imaging is almost always essential.
Whether someone is considering a knee replacement, hip replacement, shoulder operation, ACL reconstruction or spinal surgery, the consultant will usually need to review a recent MRI or CT scan before recommending the most appropriate treatment.
Many patients already have suitable imaging performed by the NHS and, where clinically appropriate, this can be securely transferred for review by their chosen MMG consultant.
However, many others find themselves waiting weeks or even months simply to obtain the scans needed before a treatment decision can even begin.
That is precisely where Scan.com adds real value.
Founded by clinicians determined to remove unnecessary delays from diagnostic imaging, Scan.com has grown into one of the UK’s largest private diagnostic imaging platforms. Through a nationwide network of more than 150 accredited imaging centres covering over 200 locations, patients can book MRI, CT and ultrasound scans quickly and conveniently, often much closer to home than they might expect.
Importantly, Scan.com offers much more than access to scanning facilities.
The platform provides an integrated clinical pathway, enabling patients to arrange their imaging online, receive the appropriate clinical referral where required, undergo their scan at a convenient location and receive a consultant radiologist’s report electronically. Images and reports are supplied digitally, allowing them to be transferred quickly and securely to MMG’s accredited consultant surgeons across Europe for clinical review.
For patients living with chronic pain or restricted mobility, this can remove weeks—and sometimes months—from the overall treatment journey.
An exclusive benefit for MMG patients
As part of the partnership, MMG has secured an exclusive 10% discount for patients referred through the MMG platform.
The discount is applied automatically when patients access Scan.com through MMG’s dedicated booking pathway, reducing the cost of obtaining the diagnostic imaging required before treatment.
While the financial saving is welcome, the greatest benefit lies elsewhere.
The partnership removes another potential obstacle between diagnosis and surgery.
Instead of searching for imaging providers independently, arranging referrals and coordinating the transfer of medical records themselves, patients benefit from a streamlined pathway that has been designed specifically to support their onward treatment.
A partnership built around patients
This partnership reflects MMG’s wider philosophy.
Our role extends far beyond introducing patients to outstanding hospitals across Europe.
We aim to coordinate every stage of the patient’s journey—from the first enquiry and consultant assessment through diagnostics, surgery, travel arrangements and post-operative follow-up.
Every organisation we choose to work with must therefore share our commitment to quality, transparency and patient care.
Scan.com has built an outstanding reputation by making private diagnostic imaging faster, simpler and easier to access. Its combination of nationwide coverage, digital technology, experienced clinicians and streamlined booking processes makes it an ideal partner for MMG and a natural extension of the service we already provide.
Looking ahead
MMG officially launched into the UK market in June 2026 following more than two years of planning, development and the creation of a network of carefully accredited private hospitals across Europe.
As patient numbers continue to grow, partnerships such as this become increasingly important.
Healthcare should not feel fragmented, requiring patients to organise scans, referrals, consultations, travel and surgery through multiple independent providers. Every stage should work together as part of one coordinated patient journey.
MMG and Scan.com also share an ambition to explore closer technical integration between their respective platforms as both organisations continue to grow. The objective is simple: to make the transition from diagnostic imaging in the UK to consultant review and treatment in Europe as seamless as possible.
For patients, that means less administration, fewer delays and greater confidence throughout the process.
