Sleep Assessment and Diagnosis
If you are experiencing problems with your sleep, book an appointment with one of our GP’s to discuss your symptoms. Following your assessment, we may recommend a sleep study.
Sleep Apnoea Diagnostic Test (Respiratory Polygraphy)
A simple yet highly effective first-line assessment for suspected sleep apnoea, this test is carried out in the comfort of your own home using a discreet monitoring device.
It tracks your breathing, oxygen levels, and heart rate overnight.
Benefits:
- Convenient and non-invasive home testing
- Rapid identification of sleep apnoea and breathing disorders
- Clear consultant-led report with tailored next steps
- This is an ideal starting point for patients experiencing snoring, disrupted sleep, or daytime fatigue.
Comprehensive Sleep Assessment (Video Polysomnography)
Considered the gold standard in sleep diagnostics, this in-depth study provides a complete picture of your sleep.
It monitors brain activity for the accurate detection and classification of sleep staging, breathing patterns, and body movement throughout the night. This comprehensive assessment enables the diagnosis of a wide range of sleep disorders.
Benefits:
- The most detailed and accurate sleep assessment available
- Identifies complex or multiple sleep disorders
- Fully consultant-led interpretation with a personalised care plan
- This assessment is particularly valuable for patients with more complex or unresolved sleep concerns.
Transcutaneous COโ Monitoring
This specialised test continuously measures carbon dioxide (COโ) levels during sleep.
It provides valuable information about breathing efficiency overnight and can identify subtle abnormalities in ventilation that may not be detected by standard sleep studies alone.
- ย Continuously monitors carbon dioxide levels throughout the night
- Detects shallow or ineffective breathing (nocturnal hypoventilation)
- Non-invasive and comfortable to wear
- Provides a more comprehensive assessment of overnight respiratory function
This investigation is particularly useful for assessing conditions associated with reduced breathing efficiency during sleep, including neuromuscular disorders, obesity hypoventilation syndrome, chest wall disorders, and certain chronic respiratory conditions.
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
(CPAP) Therapy Package
CPAP is the most effective treatment for moderate to severe sleep apnoea.
This package includes a state-of-the-art device that gently keeps your airways open while you sleep, alongside ongoing monitoring and specialist support.
Benefits:
- Gold-standard treatment proven to improve sleep quality and energy levels
- Reduces snoring and long-term health risks associated with sleep apnoea
- Ongoing support and optimisation to ensure comfort and effectiveness
- Our team ensures a seamless experience, helping you adapt easily and achieve the best possible outcomes.
Actigraphy (Up to 14 Days)
Actigraphy is a simple, non-invasive assessment that uses a lightweight, watch-like device worn on the wrist to continuously monitor your sleep and activity patterns over an extended period.
By recording movement throughout the day and night, it provides valuable insight into your natural sleepโwake cycle, sleep quality, and daily activity levels.
- ย Ideal for assessing insomnia and disrupted sleep patterns
- Helps diagnose circadian rhythm (body clock) disorders
- Monitors sleep and activity continuously for up to 14 days
- Non-intrusive and comfortable to wear during everyday activities
- Provides an objective picture of your sleep habits
This investigation is particularly useful for individuals with insomnia, irregular sleep schedules, shift work, frequent travel, or suspected circadian rhythm disorders.
