Paul Strickland Scanner Centre
Paul Strickland Scanner Centre is a leading independent medical imaging charity based at Mount Vernon Hospital, providing diagnostic scans for people with cancer and other conditions. It has been serving patients from Hillingdon, North West London, Hertfordshire and beyond since it was founded through a public appeal in 1985.
The centre offers high-quality MRI, CT and PET-CT scanning services for both NHS-referred patients and privately funded referrals.
These scans help clinicians diagnose, monitor and guide treatment decisions at pivotal points in a patient's care pathway.
As a charity that receives no routine government funding, the centre reinvests every pound raised into keeping equipment up to date, supporting research and maintaining patient-focused care rather than distributing profits.
The centre continues to maintain strong quality ratings: the Care Quality Commission inspected and rated the service Good in December 2025, reflecting safe, effective and compassionate care.
For local residents of Hillingdon, Paul Strickland Scanner Centre is a reliable option for medical imaging scans, with staff committed to clear communication and patient comfort throughout the scan process.
