Appointments at Blackrock DXA
Booking a DXA scan with us is simple, efficient, and patient-focused. Whether you’re just getting started or preparing for an upcoming scan, this page will guide you through every step.
Step 1: Submit Your Referral
Before we can schedule your appointment, we require a referral letter from your GP or consultant. This is a regulatory requirement due to the small amount of radiation involved in DXA scanning.
Your referral should include:
- Reason for the scan (e.g. fracture history, family history, low bone density, etc.)
- Relevant clinical details to help us tailor your care
