What happens
Before, during, after.
Palpitations, a family history, or a number on a smart watch that worried you. A resting ECG takes ten minutes; a GP reads it while you wait.
How it works
- Nurse fits the leads, ten minutes lying still
- GP reads the trace and discusses it with you the same visit
- If needed: a 24-hour or 7-day monitor fitted the same day
- Traces sent to a consultant cardiologist for a formal report within a week
The heart check package (£165) adds blood pressure, cholesterol and a diabetes test to the ECG and gives you a ten-year risk score in writing.
Right for
- Palpitations or a racing heart
- A family history of heart disease before 60
- Pre-operative or occupational ECGs
- A smart-watch alert you want checked properly

Questions patients ask
Asked before booking.
Which insurers do you work with?
Bupa, AXA Health, Aviva, Vitality, WPA, Cigna, Healix and Freedom. GP appointments are usually not covered by insurance; consultant departments (dermatology, paediatrics, gynaecology, psychiatry), physiotherapy and diagnostics usually are, with a GP referral, which we write the same morning. Tom checks your pre-authorisation before you are seen.
How do I get my results?
Through your portal, once a clinician has reviewed them. Most blood results are there within 24 hours, ultrasound reports within one working day, smears in 10 working days, histology in 10 working days. Anything abnormal is phoned by the clinician; we never leave a worrying result to be found online.
Can I really be seen today?
Most days, yes. Ring or book online before 10:00 on a weekday and a GP sees you that day; last year 92% of same-day requests were. Two dental emergency slots are kept every morning. Sundays 9:00 to 13:00 are urgent GP only.
What does the price include?
Everything written at the appointment: private prescriptions (medicines at cost), sick notes, fit-to-fly letters, referral letters and the summary in your portal. Tests are priced separately and told to you before they are done.
Where do I park?
Each entrance has its own car park: Station Approach (24 spaces, four blue-badge) for GP and diagnostics, Mill Lane (10, pram-friendly) for children and women's health, and the rear yard on Tanner Street (8) for physio and dental. Two hours free with a code from reception.
