Do you need a routine ECG in Bristol? Perhaps you’ve been asked by a medical professional to have an ECG as part of a health check or in preparation for starting a new medication. If long waiting lists or hospital clinics are causing delays, our routine ECG service is here for you.

Please Note:

• This is not an emergency service. If you are experiencing chest pain or believe it may be cardiac-related, please visit A&E immediately.
• This is not a diagnostic service. While an interpretation is provided, it is not a substitute for a doctor’s evaluation or treatment plan.

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple and painless test that records the rhythm, rate, and electrical activity of your heart. It provides insights into potential issues such as:

• Arrhythmias: Irregular heartbeats, such as those that are too fast, too slow, or irregular.
• Heart Attack Damage: Signs of a current or past heart attack.
• Structural Abnormalities: Enlarged chambers, thickened heart walls, or other structural concerns.
• Coronary Heart Disease or Angina: Reduced blood supply to the heart caused by fatty deposits in the arteries.

• Quick Appointments: Avoid waiting lists and busy hospital clinics.
• Comfortable Environment: Relax in our Southmead clinic, where your privacy and comfort are our priority.
• Trained Professionals: Our experienced, CQC-registered nurses ensure your ECG is conducted safely and efficiently.
• Comprehensive Results: Receive a paper copy of your ECG at the appointment and a PDF with an interpretation within 24–48 hours.

1. Preparation:
   
   • Your nurse will ask about your health, medications, and the reason for your ECG.
   • You’ll need to remove clothing from your upper body. A blanket will be provided for your comfort.

1. The Test:
   
   • Small sensors (electrodes) will be placed on your chest, wrists, and ankles to record your heart’s electrical activity.
   • The test is painless and typically lasts 10–15 minutes. You’ll need to remain still and breathe normally to ensure accurate results.

1. After the Test:
   
   • A printed copy of your ECG will be provided during the appointment.
   • Your results will be reviewed by our partner senior paramedic, and a PDF with their interpretation will be emailed to you within 24–48 hours.

This service is delivered by experienced, CQC-registered nurses and adheres to the scope of nursing practice. An ECG is not a diagnostic tool and cannot replace a doctor’s evaluation. The interpretation provided is intended for informational purposes and should be reviewed by your medical practitioner for diagnosis or treatment.
