SUMMARY:Osteoporosis Bone Density Heel Scan at WI Centre
DESCRIPTION:The Osteoporosis Assessment Service will be visiting WI Centre with their heel ultrasound scanner (McCue CUBAClinical) which does not use X-rays but safe ultrasound signals.

The results are printed and explained within a 10-minute appointment. \n  \n  \nMORNING AND AFTERNOON SLOTS AVAILABLE.  SELECT YOUR PREFFERED SESSION WHEN BOOKING \nNon members welcome at £33
