Our Consultants
The London PET/CT Centre works in partnership with a number of experienced Consultant Radiologists / Nuclear Medicine Physicians to offer patients the highest quality service.
All consultants practising from the London PET/CT Centre are on a Specialist Register of the General Medical Council (GMC) and are insured by the Medical Defence Union (MDU) or other approved insurer. As the consultants are not employed by InHealth, they work as independent practitioners and must satisfy strict criteria to practice at the Centre. The Centre regularly reviews all practitioners to ensure that they are still eligible to practice and are adhering to all guidelines set out by the relevant organisations.
