Innovate Diagnostics

The services provided at this location were cardiac and respiratory physiological diagnostics and testing. These included cardiac tests such as echocardiograms, blood pressure monitoring and arrythmia investigations. Respiratory tests explored full pulmonary function, including spirometry, fractional exhaled nitric oxide, provocation testing and sleep studies.

The service accepted private patients and patients referred from the NHS through clinical commissioning group (CCG) contracts, GP referrals and insurance companies.

The service had a good learning culture and staff and patients could raise concerns.  Managers investigated incidents thoroughly. Patients were protected and kept safe because staff understood local safeguarding arrangements. There were enough staff with the right skills, qualifications and experience to ensure safe care and treatment.
