The comfort of a sleep clinic at home
I have partnered with Vivisol, a leading sleep diagnostic service to provide private sleep clinic services at home.
This will include a sleep study for sleep apnoea as well as other sleep related disorders.
This will allow us to successfully manage your condition and improve your wellbeing in the comfort of your own home.
How does our private sleep clinic work?
Before your sleep clinic appointment:
Leave plenty of time to get to your appointment
Prepare any questions you may have in advance – it might help to write them down
During the appointment:
- I will discuss your sleep issues in detail and will listen to your concerns
- I will work with you to devise a plan on how your condition will be managed
- Diagnostic and treatment options will be proposed at the end of the appointment
After the appointment: setting up your home sleep clinic
- Expect a welcome phone call from Vivisol. They will explain the specified diagnostic sleep study equipment and its delivery schedule to your home.
- As well as an easy-to-understand manual, the equipment set up will be supported by a video call or a face-to-face visit from Vivisol.
- Your overnight sleep study will take place only once you’re happy using the equipment
After the sleep study:
- We will contact you to arrange the equipment collection
- Our clinical physiologists will review the sleep study’s results and prepare a diagnostic report for me to review.
- Once I have read the report, I will contact you to discuss the results and agree a therapy plan.
- Additionally, Vivisol will support the equipment setup with an easy-to-understand manual, either through a video call or a face-to-face visit.
At home treatment
• Vivisol will contact you to discuss the therapy equipment I recommended for home use and your agreement. This could be one of the following: a Mandibular Advancement Device or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy
• Through our sleep clinic, assistance will be provided by way of user manuals, video calls, a 24/7, 365 day a year support line and in-person visits
• Vivisol will contact you in a few days into your home therapy and regularly, to ensure you’re comfortable with your equipment. I will also be available on hand to provide support and advice as needed
• The equipment will share data with me so I can manage your condition and advise on further steps.
• If you receive a prescription for CPAP therapy, we’ll ensure your equipment operates at its best by replacing filters and masks.
• Planning to travel? Vivisol and I will give you the letter and appliances required to have a safe journey and trip whilst you are away.
