ONLY five of 45 private clinics offering pregnancy scans in Scotland are registered with the national regulatory body, prompting fears unqualified people are wrongly advising pregnant women, an investigation by The Ferret has found.
One woman scanned at an unregulated baby scanning clinic was advised she had lost her pregnancy, only to be told later by an NHS clinic that it was progressing normally. Other women said staff performing scans seemed unsure how to use the equipment or interpret scanned images.
