Do I need a GP referral?

Not essential. You can come directly or referred. At the first visit we assess your reasons for consultation, history and symptoms, and decide the study and follow-up plan.

I do intense exercise, do I need cardiac assessment?

Yes, especially over 35-40 or with risk factors/family history. ECG and exercise test can detect hidden problems and safely optimise performance.

I have high cholesterol, what should I do?

Book to assess overall cardiovascular risk, not just isolated cholesterol. Based on SCORE2, history and comorbidities, we decide whether to treat and at what dose.

Do you work with private insurers?

Yes, with the main insurers. You can check your specific plan coverage when booking.

What to do with acute chest pain?

If the pain is severe, oppressive, radiates to arm or jaw, with cold sweat, breathlessness or pallor, call 112 immediately. Acute ischaemic heart disease needs urgent hospital care.
