Midwife-founded, people-focused. The West Midlands' leading ultrasound and wellness clinic.

If your leg aches or looks swollen, it makes sense to expect a check that starts and ends with someone looking at the swelling.

A swollen leg feels like something you can judge by eye. That's a reasonable assumption to make.

The check we actually do has a name: a DVT leg scan.

DVT stands for deep vein thrombosis. It simply means a clot in one of the deep veins of the leg.

The scan uses ultrasound to look inside your leg, at the deep veins themselves.

So your answer comes from what those veins show beneath the skin. That gives you clarity.

Many people know Clayton Clinic for pregnancy scans. The DVT leg scan is one of the general ultrasound scans we offer men and women, alongside testicular, abdominal aortic aneurysm and abdominal organ scans. Our team includes a specialist sonographer.

Autumn journeys and longer, darker evenings spent sitting still often bring leg questions to mind. If one is on yours, it's a perfectly reasonable thing to ask about. Every worry is valid.

If you'd like to know more about a DVT leg scan, get in touch with our team. We'll talk it through gently with you.

Midwife-founded.

It sits beside our name on everything we write, and most families read straight past it.

Here is what it means when we say it.

Midwife-founded: a clinic set up by midwives, so the people who scan you have cared for mothers through pregnancy.

That's the part that matters once you're lying on the bed.

Your scan is carried out by one of our experienced midwife sonographers. They came to imaging from midwifery. They bring both sets of knowledge into the room with you.

The phrase describes how Clayton Clinic began. It also describes the clinic you walk into today. The people who scan you still come from the same profession as our founders.

If you have questions before you book, we're happy to answer them first.

Lying back on the scan bed can feel like the moment you hand everything over.

The screen is still dark. You're looking up at the ceiling. Waiting.

That first minute matters more than people expect. It's often when you feel most exposed, and it quietly shapes how the rest of the appointment feels.

Then you notice the person beside you has sat down.

At your height. Close enough to talk easily.

At Clayton Clinic, that's how a scan begins. Two people talking at eye level, on your terms, before anything is looked at.

Most of the people who sit in that seat are midwives specialising in obstetrics. They know pregnancy as care. The picture on the screen is only one part of it.

So that quiet minute before the screen comes on is yours.

It's a good time to say what you're hoping for. Or what you've been quietly worried about.

Take your time with it.

Most families first meet us for one scan.

Spread everything we do across one desk, though, and you notice something else.

The list is long. The faces behind it stay the same.

So here it is, laid out piece by piece.

First, the pregnancy scans you might already know us for. First Glimpse and Specialist Early Reassurance in the early weeks, through to our Pregnancy Story Silver, Gold and Platinum packages. 4D imaging too.

Then the ones people often don't realise sit under the same roof. Wellbeing scans for women and for men. Organ-specific scans. DVT scans, which look for a blood clot in a deep vein. Follicle tracking. An extensive blood test panel.

And for anyone buying for a family they love, the keepsakes. Heartbeat bears. Digital frames. Gender reveal items.

That's the whole desk.

Every entry on it leads back to one midwife-led team.

Registered midwives, several specialising in obstetrics and gynaecology. A midwife prescriber. A specialist sonographer. Safeguarding-trained maternity support staff. Phlebotomists. A student midwife in training.

The face in this photo is one of them.

So when your next need is something other than a pregnancy scan, you can bring that completely different question to people you already know. There's no need to start your story again with strangers.

Whenever your next question comes along, a scan, bloods or a keepsake, get in touch in your own time.

Take your time. We'll be here when you're ready.

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the news that our beloved Charley passed away on 26th October 2026.

Charley was with us from the very beginning. She helped build Clayton Clinic into what it is today, and her care, warmth and dedication touched every part of who we are.

This loss has been felt deeply by our whole team, and by so many of you who knew her.

Charley set the highest of standards, and we will continue to uphold them in everything we do, in her honour.

Our thoughts are with her children, family and loved ones at this incredibly difficult time.

Forever part of the Clayton Clinic family. 🤍

One day soon you will hold your baby's feet in your hands.

Three small habits now mean the very first pictures of them are waiting when you do.

1. Give your scan images their own album.
When your images arrive on your phone, move them into a separate album straight away. They won't get lost among screenshots and everyday photos, and they'll be easy to find the day you set them beside the first pictures after birth.

2. Write down the date and one thing your midwife told you.
A line in your notes is enough. The image keeps its story, so years from now you remember what it meant as well as what it showed.

3. Ask to see the hands and feet.
While you're in the room, ask your midwife to point them out on the screen. You'll know what you're looking at when you look back. And the first time you hold those feet, it feels like meeting someone you already know.

A scan keepsake is the first chapter of your family record.

A few minutes of care early keeps the whole story together.

You meet them twice. Once on the screen, and once in your arms.

Save this for your scan day. When you're ready, ask us to show you those tiny hands and feet. Take your time.

You are lying back, one hand on your bump, and the face you have waited months for is right there on the screen.

Nobody else in the room sees it quite the way you do.

A little stretch. A flicker of movement. The shape you've been picturing for weeks, suddenly real.

That view is yours alone. Everyone else in the room is there to protect it.

Laura is one of the familiar faces on our team, and she may be the person beside you for a moment you'll remember. She's there to let it unfold at your pace, to give you space to take it in, and to answer whatever comes to mind while you're still looking.

Clayton Clinic was founded by qualified midwife sonographers. So the person next to you understands what you're seeing, and what it means to you.

The screen shows the picture. The reassurance comes from the knowledge and experience of the people in the room with you.

Every pregnancy is different. So is every first look.

And the moment doesn't have to end when you sit up.

It can come home with you. A heartbeat bear. A digital frame. Something to hold on to long after the appointment.

Questions often arrive later too. On the drive home, in the middle of the night, weeks down the line. Every one of them is welcome.

Take your time. Whenever a question arrives, before your scan or long after, our midwives are here to answer it.

Before every appointment, a clean length of couch roll is laid out for the next person. What happens on it depends on whether that person can breathe out.

Thorough and relaxed were never opposites. When you're at ease, there's room for us to take our time, to be careful, to check properly. Calm is part of how a careful examination gets done. One patient described their male health check with us like this: "Professional and thorough examination in a relaxed environment."

The same unhurried, experienced team that families know from their pregnancy scans also sees men for their own health. If the thought of the room itself is what's kept you putting a check off, we work to make it a place you can settle before anything begins.

Take your time. Whenever you feel ready, get in touch and we'll talk it through with you first.

Almost everyone who comes to see us stops for a moment outside before they open the door.

We have watched it for years. We call it the doorstep minute.

It is the short pause just before you come in. (Checking the appointment time on your phone again, though you already know it by heart.)

It happens whatever brought you here. (A first reassurance scan on your own, a gender scan with grandparents gathered on the pavement, a scan someone gave you as a gift.)

It is the moment the day becomes real. (The partner who goes quiet as the car door closes. The deep breath before the handle.)

We see it from our side of the door most mornings, and we recognise it because we are midwives first. (Being greeted by someone who noticed the pause too.)

Take your time with it.

The doorstep minute is ordinary. It belongs to the day.

Some reviews stop us in our tracks.

This one describes a feeling.

How it felt to walk in. The atmosphere of the room. The sense of being genuinely looked after, from the very first moment.

Clayton Clinic was founded by qualified midwife sonographers. People who bring extensive experience and genuine care into every appointment.

That care shapes the room long before a scan begins.

Our mission is to provide the highest quality of care and offer genuine reassurance to mothers, families and patients. We reach it through the knowledge and experience of our midwife sonographers. Technology plays its part. Human expertise carries the rest.

Feeling safe before a word is spoken rarely happens by accident.

It comes from small, daily habits. A calm welcome. A considered, unhurried space. Midwives who are there to answer your questions, whatever stage of pregnancy you're at.

Every journey is different. Everyone who comes through our door arrives with something of their own, and we treat each worry as valid.

We think trust built this way is the truest kind of recommendation.

It is earned slowly. And we don't take it lightly.

Thank you for sharing your words with us.

When you're ready, we're here.
