✅ Book online now

 

If you’re experiencing chest discomfort, tightness, palpitations, or breathlessness, it’s normal to want answers quickly — without weeks of uncertainty.

 

Our Chest Pain & Palpitations Rapid Access Pathway is designed to give you:

 

  • a private GP assessment

  • the right investigations coordinated quickly

  • cardiologist-reported testing

  • a clear plan and next steps

 

 

This pathway is suitable for many patients who want reassurance quickly, or who need structured investigation outside the NHS.

 

Serving patients from Guildford and surrounding areas:

Guildford • Godalming • Woking • Cobham • Weybridge • Esher • Farnham • Haslemere • Leatherhead • Kingston upon Thames

What’s included

This pathway includes:

 

  • Private GP cardiovascular assessment

  • ECG (where clinically appropriate)

  • Cardiologist-reported Echocardiogram (Echo)

  • Cardiologist-reported 24-hour Holter monitor

  • Results interpretation + clear plan

  • Next steps guidance (including onward specialist referral if needed)

 

 

Typical turnaround: investigations often coordinated within 48 hours where possible (subject to clinical suitability and availability).

Who this is for

You may benefit from this pathway if you have:

 

  • chest discomfort (especially recurrent or unexplained)

  • palpitations / fluttering / skipped beats

  • shortness of breath on exertion

  • new or increasing symptoms that need a plan

  • anxiety about symptoms and want reassurance with proper testing

Why book a pathway instead of single tests?

Many patients waste time booking:

 

  • a single ECG (normal when symptoms aren’t happening)

  • a test that doesn’t answer the real question

 

 

A pathway provides a coordinated plan:
 

✅ right test selection
 

✅ results interpreted in context
 

✅ clear next steps
 

✅ no “guesswork medicine”

Safety note (important)

These pathways are not an emergency service.
 

If you have severe chest pain, severe breathlessness, collapse/fainting, or feel acutely unwell, please call 999 or attend A&E.
