Need a Heart Medical?

Many professional license holders and sportspeople require additional heart-related testing as part of their medicals.

If you have suffered from a heart attack you may also need additional heart testing as part of your medical in order to continue doing your job or sport.

Which can I help with?

I can arrange any medical with a heart test component. This usually involves a Stress Related ECG (the treadmill test). Typical medicals include:

  • MSA Motor Sports Medical
    • for FIA International Licence holders
  • HGV License medicals
  • Professional Pilot Licenses
  • Diving & Offshore Medicals
  • Medicals requiring exercise electrocardiogram (ECGtests

If you have a specific requirement, or a particular medical, and want to contact me before booking please use the 'contact me' page.

A typical medical with heart-related stress test takes between 45 minutes and 1 hour to complete. I can personally complete medicals local to the Greater Manchester area. I can also help arrange medicals closer to your location.

Mins

An exercise stress test, also called a cardiac stress test, exercise ECG or stress test, is used to assess the range of ability of the heart. The test usually lasts no more than 12 minutes.

Can anyone book a telephone consultation?

Yes. You don't need anyone's permission to book a consultation with me. If you have concerns about your health you can book a consultation at a time that best suits you using my online booking system. You don't need a GP referral and you don't have to wait.

What's does a telephone consultation involve?

I can cover most of the things that you would normally expect to happen in a physical, face to face consultation.

I will take a detailed history and go over the symptoms and health issues that you have. If further tests are required I can advise you what is required and in some cases arrange those for you. I will address your concerns with a professional medical assessment of your condition.

I can give you advice about medications and issue prescriptions if required.

A general cardiology telephone consultation costs £95. You can pay this when you book your appointment online. You can change the appointment details up to 24 hours beforehand. Additional tests may be required and there are full details here on my 'Fees and Treatment Prices' page.

What happens after I book my appointment?

You will immediately receive a booking confirmation confirming the day and time for your telephone consultation. My practice manager will confirm your appointment details by email during office hours.

Please remember to have your contact telephone/mobile with you at all times 15 minutes before your appointment time as we tend to run on schedule!

I will attempt to call you three times. If there is a problem don't worry my practice team will keep trying and can rearrange the appointment as necessary.

What happens after my telephone consultation?

If further tests or treatments are required you have two options. I can book these for you privately or if you would prefer a referral back into the appropriate NHS waiting list I can advise how you can go about it, and in some cases makes the referral for you. I'll discuss both options with you thoroughly before we finish though so you will know exactly what is going to happen next.

If I book a private consultation does that mean I have to pay for any future tests & treatments as well?

No, you can switch back to NHS treatment and, if I can, I will make the referral onto the relevant waiting list for you.

After treatment, you also have the option to re-book with me privately whenever you want.
