About us
About Inner-VisionInner-Vision has been set up by a husband and wife team of healthcare professionals, Richard and Catherine Warriner. Richard trained as a sonographer at Leeds in 1996. He worked at Pinderfields hospital Wakefield, Queens Park Hospital Blackburn, Huddersfield Royal Infirmary and Liverpool Womens Hospital as a sonographer before joining General Elecctric as an ultrasound applications specialist. In this role Richard travelled throughout the north of England demonstrating and teaching the latest ultrasound techniques to sonographers and doctors in obstetrics and general ultrasound. It was with his time at GE healthcare that Richard was introduced to the Voluson 730. It is the class leader in 3d/4d technology and as such the only choice for Inner-Vision. Richard has lectured to ultrasound students at the universities of Liverpool, Leeds and Lancaster. Catherine is a Midwife, gaining her degree in Midwifery from Newcastle University in 1996. After working in the north east for a short while after qualification, Catherine returned home to Lancashire and has now worked at Queens Park hospital, Blackburn, for the last eight years. She has been a community midwife, worked in an antenatal clinic and has had extensive experience on the antenatal wards.

Why Inner-Vision?Richard - " I think the name says it all - looking inward, sharing a magical experience, the whole process of being able to visualize your unborn child is fantastic. We know this from the reaction of expectant parents attending hospital clinics, where in comparison to the service we offer they only really glimpse the baby fleetingly".

Catherine - "We offer parents the ability to choose if they want more scan time, we don't offer a diagnostic service so we can give an extended time concentrating on what parents want to see, and of course the other major difference is that it's in 3d, you can really see the baby's features". Why now? Richard - "It's only now that the technology is available for us to scan with such clarity in 3d and at a decent frame rate to give the moving pictures (4d) as well".

Catherine - "We hear in the departments, on the wards, in the clinics people asking for this type of scan all the time and now we can offer the choice".

Richard - "We provide a professional, no rush relaxed atmosphere with the emphasis on your baby and what you want, giving time for you to bond with your baby. Ultrasound scans are of course proven to reduce anxiety and stress levels. It's also a great way to introduce other children to their brother or sister, building up that acceptance and being part of the process".

Catherine - "We like the line that we came up with that we think is really to the point, 'Celebrate the miracle of life before your baby is born' ".
