Private ECG test vs NHS waiting time

The NHS offers ECG tests to all patients who medically need one – i.e: those who are actively experiencing cardiac-related symptoms, or those who need to be monitored for the health or their heart. However, the waiting lists can often mean people are waiting months for a simple 10-20 minute test.

For example, a referral to cardiology in some parts of the North West can take up to 23 weeks with the NHS, whereas private ECG appointments can often be offered within a week to 14 days for faster access to treatment.

This is often a factor that’s taken into account by people who need an ECG to start certain medications, or those who need peace of mind about their heart health.

Private ECG Manchester

Ready Health is a private health clinic serving residents of Lancashire and Greater Manchester. Based on Standish High Street, our ECG appointments are available for all patients needing an electrocardiogram without waiting weeks for an answer.

A private diagnostic test like an ECG doesn’t exclude you from receiving NHS treatment in the future related to your heart. It simply means you’ll have your results sooner than they’d be able to facilitate. However, you might still have NHS waiting lists to contend with once your ECG is complete.

All our ECG’s are reported by a Cardiologist with immediate verbal overview and a written report within 15-20 minutes or so.

ECQ FAQ's

An ECG is an electrocardiogram test that checks activity like the rate and rhythm of your heart. This might be done if your doctor is checking for an abnormality, or to rule out certain conditions. Most electrocardiograms are done while you’re resting or lying on a bed, but some referrals might ask for a stress ECG (where you’ll be monitored while you exercise), or an portable test that can read your heart activity over 24 hours or more at home. At Ready Health, we provide in-clinic ECG tests for patients at our brand-new base in Standish.

Your test should take between 10-20 minutes to complete, with your appointment slow allowing enough time for one of our clinicians to take your details and reasons for visiting. It’s a painless procedure that involves a number of electrodes being placed on your body to record electrical signals and see how your heart is functioning. You shouldn’t be able to feel anything during the test, and you can resume all normal activities as soon as it’s over.

Electrocardiogram tests are usually offered to people who are experiencing symptoms related to their heart’s health. While they’re often given in hospital, they can also be booked as an outpatient appointment to give an overview of how your heart is functioning if there are any concerns. You might be asked to book an ECG if: - You’ve been diagnosed with a condition that can affect your heart - You’ve recently had symptoms like chest pain or palpitations - You have a known heart problem - You’re about to start taking certain medications - You have a family history of coronary problems

We’ve paired up with same-day reporting service {TBC} to be able to delivery your ECG results directly to you as quickly as possible. All results will be sent to you via email and/or text for you to share with other healthcare providers involved in your treatment.
