All referrals for CT must be from a medically qualified practitioner (GP) or Cardiologists at a partner organisation such as The Surrey Cardiovascular Clinic.

SCVC clinicians work with HeartScandirect to provide a virtual consullation service that allows a cardiologist to assess the patient, and then make recommendations on options that may either be heart screening products such as a Platinum heart screen, that includes a Coronary Calcium score when clinically indicated, or in some cases, and only where appropriate, refer to Heartscandirect for a VCl HeartScan.
