At Taunton Hospital, we are pleased to offer a range of diagnostic imaging services, including:
How can I book a mammogram?
To book a screening mammogram, call us on 0345 230 2040. You can refer yourself for a self-pay mammogram if you're over 40 years old and haven't experienced any symptoms or had screening within the last 12 months. If this doesn’t apply to you, we will need a diagnostic imaging request form sent to our Radiology team.
Our team of highly experienced radiographers and radiologists work closely with our GPs and specialist consultants to provide as seamless a service as possible, tailored to suit your individual needs.
Alongside state-of-the-art technology, providing a safe, comfortable, friendly environment and excellent personalised care is always our priority.
Maximum care, minimal waiting
We understand that life can be busy, and waiting for tests and results can sometimes be an anxious time – so rapid access and convenient and flexible appointment times are important.- Our Radiology department is open Monday to Thursday 08:30 to 17:30 and Fridays 08:30 to 16:30
- We also have a mobile MRI scanner available every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
- Your results and scan reports are always returned back to the referrer – we advise 5 to 7 days for all results.

Please note that a diagnostic imaging request from a suitably qualified referrer is needed to access this service.
