How can we help you?

From quick check-ups to comprehensive cardiac assessments, we have a scan to suit your needs and your budget.

Heart Scan

Echocardiogram

A detailed ultrasound of your heart’s structure and function. Comprehensive, painless, and perfect if you have concerns about murmurs, breathlessness, or family history.

Heart Scan

Electrocardiogram

A precise recording of your heart’s electrical activity. Ideal if you’re experiencing palpitations, chest pain, or need a quick heart health check. Takes just 15 minutes.

Vascular Scan

Carotid Ultrasound

An ultrasound of the arteries in your neck that supply blood to the brain. Recommended if you have risk factors for stroke, or a family history of cardiovascular disease.

Heart Monitor

Ambulatory ECG

Continuous heart rhythm recording over 24 hours to 7 days. Ideal for capturing intermittent symptoms like palpitations, dizziness, or unexplained fainting.

Blood Pressure

24hr BP Monitoring

A portable monitor records your blood pressure throughout the day and night. Gives a much clearer picture than a one-off reading at the GP surgery.

Save by combining scans into a package. 10+ combinations available.

Everything you need to know

No. You can self-refer and book directly with us. There’s no need to see your GP first. Once we have your results, we’ll send a copy to both you and your GP so they’re kept in the loop.

Both the echocardiogram and ECG are completely safe, non-invasive, and painless. The echo uses the same ultrasound technology as pregnancy scans, and the ECG simply records electrical signals from small sticky patches placed on your skin.

An ECG takes about 15 minutes. An echocardiogram typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. If you’re having the combined package, allow around an hour for the full appointment. We’ll never rush you.

We aim to have your results to you within 4 working days. Your scan data is analysed after your appointment, peer-reviewed by a second Advanced Cardiac Physiologist, and (where the Cardiologist Review upgrade is selected) additionally reviewed remotely by one of our Consultant Cardiologists. The report is then emailed to you and your GP.

All scans are performed by highly specialised Advanced Cardiac Physiologists with decades of experience. We have both male and female physiologists — just let us know your preference when you book. Every result is peer-reviewed internally by a second Advanced Cardiac Physiologist as standard, with an optional Consultant Cardiologist review available on your echo for an additional £100.

Very little. You can eat, drink and take medications as normal. For an ECG, we ask that you avoid oils or creams on your chest that morning. It helps to bring your height, weight, and a list of current medications. We’ll talk you through everything when you arrive.

Yes. We accept referrals from both GPs and consultants, NHS or private. The process is simple — your clinician can call or email us, and we’ll get your patient booked in quickly. Results are sent back to the referring clinician within 4 working days, and any significant findings are discussed on the day.

Yes, we accept patients covered by Vitality private health insurance. You’ll need to contact Vitality first to get a pre-authorisation code, then book with us as normal. We handle the billing directly — no reimbursement paperwork or hidden costs.

We do. We work with businesses and organisations of all sizes to provide tailored heart health screening for their teams. Packages are flexible, and we’ll work with you to design something that fits your requirements and budget.
