Do you pay for nhs scan photos in bournemouth?

Okay so I'm a huge reddit fan ..if you'r not on reddit head on over ! Anyway I'm reading this thread on the pregnancy UK group and people are talking about paying for scans and how complicated it is, and if you don't pay before you enter the scan, you could not get photos. Is this the case in Bournemouth? Do you pay for scan photos ? I want to be prepared. Thanks

Yeah you pay for photos at your nhs scan! At poole maternity, you get given the photos and then you pay at this machine! Usually 2 for £5 or 3 for £10

Yeah you do pay for them. The machine is at the front of the waiting room, takes care as well. I think it’s 2 for £5 or 3 for £10, I always paid £10 and got loads! Also, I did them after my scan. Ask at reception if you need to x

Everything is at Poole at the moment while Bournemouth hospital is being developed. They usually ask if you want photos, give them to you and ask you to pay on the way out

Not everyone is at poole as poole tried to transfer me to Bournemouth but I refused?

@Poppy I have my 12 weeks scan booked at bournemouth! I had no idea you had to pay for pics!! 😱

@Poppy I'm pretty sure it says on my badger app that I'm going to bournemouth for my scan ?

Bournemouth are still doing it, i think that if it’s any major complications you’ll get taken to poole! But in a couple of years, all maternity will be at Bournemouth anyway as poole is closing

@Poppy no your right im tripping 😆 thanks so much I probably wouldn't of noticed and would of just walked down to bournemouth hospital

We’ve always been told 5 for £10 at Poole maternity x

@Rochelle thank you is that 5 different pics ?

Also I think Poole is for scans, and you can either attend either or for maternity care depending on where you live. I attend bournemouth to see my midwife and Poole for scans x

@Anastasia yeah we got 5 each from 12 week and 20 week scans x

I went yesterday and got given our scan pictures - they didn’t say I had to pay…

@Jo Bournemouth or Poole?

@Simona at Poole. They printed 5 out and gave them to us

@Jo nice! Am I the only one that have the appointment at bournemouth hospital rather than Poole?!

Oh I don’t know - if that’s what’s on your badger app appointment then must be right! I’m not sure what’s going on with Bournemouth hospital while they’re building the (huge) extension!!

I work at Poole maternity! All maternity scans are at Poole, none are at Bournemouth. Scan photos are 2 for £5 and 5 for £10. You have to make sure you ask when you are in the scan room for the amount you want as they can’t always get a good picture so may not print any

Unfortunately yes I'm 21weeks so had a scan not long ago for some reason 3pictures is 5 5pictures is ten pound and 10pictures is 20 pound
