We have created a service focused around you — offering prompt appointments, clear communication, and personalised care from experienced clinicians who take the time to listen.Our heart health assessments use simple, non-invasive tests that can provide valuable information about how your heart is functioning.
An ECG (electrocardiogram) records your heart rhythm and electrical activity and can often identify irregular heartbeats or signs of strain.
An Echocardiogram is a detailed ultrasound scan that allows us to look closely at the structure and pumping function of your heart, including the valves and chambers.
For symptoms that come and go, such as intermittent palpitations, we may recommend a Holter/Zio monitor, which records your heart rhythm continuously over 24 hours or longer while you go about your normal daily routine.
In many cases, these investigations can be arranged quickly and completed in a single visit, helping to reduce stress and avoid unnecessary delays. Most results are available within 24 to 72 hours, giving you clarity and reassurance when you need it most.
If further specialist input is needed, we also work in collaboration with GMC registered local Cardiology Consultant Team and can arrange a referral to ensure seamless ongoing care.
What makes our service different is the experience we provide. From the moment you contact us, our focus is on making you feel comfortable, informed, supported and helping you feel confident about your next steps.
Our clinic offers a quiet and private setting where you can discuss your concerns openly and receive clear explanations without feeling rushed.
Looking after your heart health should not feel overwhelming. Early assessment can provide reassurance, identify potential problems sooner, and help you make informed decisions about your health and wellbeing. Your heart works hard for you every day — give it the care and attention it deserves.
