Sleep & Health Clinic: Your Pathway to Better Sleep
The current waiting list in England has reached 7.62 million patients, steadily increasing year on year, according to figures from June 2024 (1). As the Health Minister mentioned in a recent statement, the country must pull on all strings to reduce this number, including the use of private clinics (2). This is where Sleep and Health Clinic Ltd comes in, offering proven recovery and treatment pathways for patients with sleep disorders.
A Regional Focus for England
In England, the focus will be on:
Expanding the number of community diagnostic centres.
Speeding up access to treatments, particularly in high-demand areas such as orthopaedics and cancer care.
Improving capacity to reduce waiting times for elective surgeries.
Sleep and Health Clinic Ltd offers a service that the providers across the UK can utilise to reduce waiting lists by improving capacity and offering recovery pathways that not only focus on treatment, but tackling sleep disorders from the ground up, ensuring patients will not be back on the waiting list later. Over the last few years, we have had the privilege of diagnosing and treating over 700 NHS patients, helping them improve their sleep health, and offering a tried and tested service to reduce waiting lists.
Public and Private Partnership
While the Health Service remains a public service, collaboration with private healthcare providers will be essential. By utilising private diagnostic and treatment facilities, the providers can free up hospital resources for more urgent cases, enabling faster care.
Early Diagnosis of Sleep Disorders
One area that could have a significant impact on reducing waiting lists is the early diagnosis of sleep disorders. Conditions like sleep apnea and insomnia can lead to more severe health issues if untreated. Expanding access to sleep disorder clinics in England will allow earlier GP referr als and faster interventions, helping to prevent complications and reduce further strain on the National Health Service.
At the Sleep & Health Clinic Limited, we are committed to providing forward-thinking, evidence-based care. We work diligently to offer the latest diagnostic and treatment options for patients, including those with sleep apnoea and other sleep disorders including the NICE guidelines. We are here to ensure that you receive the appropriate specialist care for your sleep disorder, through a seamless referral process.
We accept tertiary and quaternary referrals from other services and welcome referrals sent via post or email to the contact details listed above.
