Heath Lodge Clinic to become Official Medical Partner of Leicester Tigers
Heath Lodge Clinic will be the sole diagnostics partner of Leicester Tigers Senior Men’s squad for the 2026/27 season, supporting the health, wellbeing and performance of its full squad of Gallagher PREM players through access to advanced diagnostic imaging and specialist clinical expertise.
The Clinic in Solihull, Birmingham, provides a high-quality diagnostic scanning service offering MRI (3T and 1.5T). It is one of the best equipped independent MR centres in the country with three MR scanners, including two 3T scanners, which provide extremely high-resolution images of sports injuries.
It was opened in 2009 by Consultant Radiologist Dr David Beale and employs a multidisciplinary team focused on diagnostic imaging, screening and consultant-led pain management.
Heath Lodge Clinic is just 40 minutes from the Leicester Tigers training ground.
One of the most successful and historic rugby union clubs in England, Leicester Tigers won the PREM Rugby Cup last season and finished fourth overall in the league. Holding the record for the most Premiership titles, the club has also twice received European honours.
As one of England’s biggest rugby clubs, Leicester Tigers have a Senior Men’s squad of over 40 players and the team will play a minimum of 32 matches this season.
Dr David Beale, Consultant Radiologist and Founder of Heath Lodge Clinic, comments, “At Heath Lodge Clinic, our mission has always been to provide outstanding diagnostic and patient-centred care, and we are proud to bring that expertise to our partnership with Leicester Tigers.”
