One ecosystem
Two specialist platforms. One professional ecosystem.
Shared authentication, organisation management, administration and assurance — presented as two distinct, purpose-built experiences.
Brand A
ScanBridge Imaging Network
Fast, transparent access to X-ray and CT imaging through a trusted network of imaging providers.
A digital referral and imaging-capacity marketplace connecting referring clinicians with providers who have capacity — not an imaging provider itself.
For referrers
GPs, physiotherapists, chiropractors, sports medicine, occupational health, insurers and solicitors, and self-pay patients where appropriate.
For providers
NHS spare capacity, independent diagnostic centres, mobile imaging units and community diagnostic centres.
Brand B
RadStart Academy
Your radiography career starts here.
A career-development and education platform for diagnostic radiography students and newly qualified radiographers — one continuous pathway rather than disconnected courses.
- 1Year 1 — foundations and confidence
- 2Year 2 — clinical placement and technique
- 3Year 3 — preceptorship readiness
- 4Newly qualified — the first two years
- 5CT and advanced practice

Transparent by default
Turnaround times, capacity and provider standards presented clearly, so decisions are informed.
Built by the profession
Designed around how radiographers, referrers and providers actually work day to day.
One ecosystem, two specialisms
Shared identity, administration and assurance across imaging access and professional education.
