NHS Sheffield CCG : Cardiology Diagnostics (Ambulatory ECG) Services AQP

Tender description

The aim of the Service is to aid early diagnostics and avoid the need for unnecessary referral to secondary care, or to support the shift of activity into a primary care setting. It is important that the use of 24 hour ECG is governed by evidence-based guidelines. The Service will provide a 24 hour ECG test with appropriate clinical interpretation for GPs who wish to investigate patients at low risk of significant cardiac pathology, who have previously had a 12-lead ECG and for whom they wish to investigate further. This is an AQP process so there is no guarantee of activity or revenue.
