Sleep Study Clinic
Candover Clinic provides a sleep study clinic to assess and diagnose Obstructive Sleep Apnoea provided by our Respiratory Consultants. Sleep apnoea is when your breathing stops and starts while you sleep.
Night time symptoms of sleep apnoea can include:
- breathing stopping and starting
- making gasping, snorting or choking noises
- waking up a lot
- loud snoring
In order to assess you, you will be asked to wear a device overnight at home so the Consultant can check for signs of sleep apnoea. They will analyse the data recorded by the device and confirm if you have sleep apnoea and how severe based on how often your breathing stops while you sleep.
Sleep apnoea does not always need to be treated if it is mild. The Consultant will discuss your options with you.
How to access the sleep study clinic
We take referrals from GP’s and Consultants. Once your referral is received by our enquiry team, they will arrange for an appointment with a Respiratory Consultant for you.
What to expect:
The package includes a one night sleep study at home which will be reviewed by the Consultant. If the study shows a negative result for sleep apnoea we will write to you to confirm this. If your result is positive for sleep apnoea we will invite you in for a full consultation to discuss onward care.
