Service Description

Hepatitis C is a virus that affects the liver, most often passed through contact with infected blood. While it can fly under the radar with little or no symptoms, it can cause long-term damage if left undetected, including cirrhosis, liver failure, or liver cancer. This test looks for antibodies to the hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV), which indicate whether you’ve been exposed.

Ask your clinician at the start or request a pre‐appointment call. • We comply with GDPR. Your data is stored securely (ISO 27001 & ISO 27018) for one year, then destroyed. ⸻ Venepuncture Terms We collect blood for lab tests (we don’t diagnose). You choose which tests you need. • The procedure uses a needle, usually from the elbow vein. Most tests need under 10 ml of blood. • Risks: bruising, pain, infection, fainting; sometimes we need to try again. • Please eat and drink beforehand, or we may reschedule. • You can withdraw consent at any time. With your permission, we can suggest services or notify your GP, but we do not provide treatment or official referrals. ⸻ Pregnancy Ultrasound Terms Our scans are extras, not replacements for NHS scans. • Sexing: We’ll share our best guess, but it’s not guaranteed. If we’re wrong, one free rescan is available (no cash refund). • 3D/4D image quality depends on baby’s position, your BMI, bladder fullness, etc. Keep a moderately full bladder. One free rescan may be offered if images aren’t clear. • All scans must be paid in full at the first appointment. • If we spot a possible abnormality, we’ll explain and, if you agree, notify your GP or send a report. By booking, you consent to a non-diagnostic ultrasound, accept these terms, and agree not to hold ScanLinc liable for missed abnormalities.
