Consultants

We have set up a specialist Sleep Unit to support trusts to work effectively. Consultants therefore have access to tertiary level diagnostics as recommended by NICE guidelines. This has enabled the NHS at University London College Hospital (UCLH) to reduce their waiting list and allocate residual sleep study funds for patient treatment and other medical needs within the hospital.

The sleep service is effective because it allows doctors to manage patients in their practice, with the help of the experts who oversee the quality of the studies and provide diagnosis.

Besides the direct saving using the service is cost efficient because it allows the department to save money from capital expenditure to running costs and employment costs. Or keeping funds lost to other trusts by referring the patients elsewhere.

The sleep service is safe in that the process followed aligns with the national and international guidelines for investigating and managing sleep disorders. As specialist unit, the referring team, by adhering to the latest NICE guidelines, can also reduce the trusts NHS insurance payments.

The service is responsive because by keeping the service up to date by using the latest evidence base to give our patients the best treatments, which are innovative and progressive. The feedback from patients and NHS staff has been very positive. Patients give a high rating for both the treatment and the facilities provided.

Our service is caring in that we have a team of well-qualified and empathetic staff who understand the importance of good sleep for good health long-term

Led by an experienced team who has been working in and alongside the NHS for many years and are keen to engage in serving the population of UK by utilising the funds from taxpayers in a sensible and responsible way.
