We are very proud to be partnering with Screen My Bones to offer fast, non-invasive bone density scans that help detect osteoporosis early.
Osteoporosis often has no symptoms, often only diagnosed after a fracture. A quick scan with ScreenMyBones can identify early bone loss, giving you the chance to take preventative action. Whether you're at risk due to age, family history, menopause, or lifestyle factors, early detection can protect your mobility, independence, and quality of life. The service is convenient, affordable, and doesn’t require a GP referral—empowering you to take charge of your health.
