FROM OCTOBER! We will need to confirm these as we have limited devices!
Extended ECG Monitoring – 24/48/72 Hours, 7 or 14 Days
Extended ECG monitoring records your heart rhythm over a longer period, helping to detect intermittent or occasional heart rhythm problems that may not be picked up during a standard 12-lead ECG.
A small, comfortable waterproof monitor will be fitted for you to wear for the selected monitoring period. You can continue with your normal daily activities while wearing the monitor.
Once the monitoring period is complete, the monitor is returned (you can drop this into reception) and the recording is analysed. A report of the findings will be provided at the end of the monitoring period.
This includes an appointment to have the device fitted and shown how to use it.
24 hours: £250
48 hours: £275
72 hours: £300
7 days: £400
14 days: £500
High priority: £30 extra. This means the results are turned around in 1-2 business days!

Echocardiogram
An echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) is a non-invasive test that uses ultrasound to assess the structure and function of your heart. It can help investigate symptoms and identify conditions affecting the heart, including heart valve problems and how well the heart is pumping.
Your appointment will be arranged through a referral to Nuffield Health.
Once your referral has been processed, you will be contacted regarding your appointment.
