Private Home Video Telemetry

Home video telemetry is very safe. For some patients, there’s a risk of mild skin irritation and allergic reaction to the electrodes.

You should continue to eat and take your medication as usual unless you’ve been told otherwise, and bring a list of your current medications to your appointment.

Please ensure that your hair is clean, freshly washed, and free of any hair products, as this will facilitate efficient recording of your brainwaves. As the equipment prevents you from pulling clothes over your head, it’s best to wear a button-up or zip-up top.

The electrodes may be removed by yourself, and the equipment should be returned at the time of your next appointment. You may resume your normal activities immediately. A minimal amount of paste may remain in your hair; however, it can be easily removed with shampoo and warm water.

Your results will be available within 5 working days. Once reviewed, your consultant will discuss the findings with you and whether any treatment is required. 

Please contact our Neurology centre for pricing information.

At Welbeck, our neurology consultants are experts in their field and are dedicated to providing world-class care to every patient.

With access to colleagues across other specialties, our consultants are also able to refer within the Welbeck ecosystem if required to ensure you receive the treatment you need as quickly as possible, all under one roof.  

All appointments, testing, treatment, and follow-up appointments take place within our state-of-the-art facilities, enabling us to deliver accurate diagnostics and advanced treatments.

To book a home video telemetry, you must be referred by either your GP or a neurologist following a consultation with them. Self-referrals are not accepted for this test.

If you would like to schedule a consultation with a Welbeck neurologist, please get in touch to make an appointment. Your health is important to us, so we strive to offer same-day appointments whenever possible.

Our consultants are recognised by the major health insurance companies. If you have private health insurance, your treatment at Welbeck can begin once you have obtained authorisation. We also provide care to self-paying patients. Learn more about the different payment options at Welbeck.

Will the test hurt?

No, the test is painless. The electrodes may feel a little uncomfortable when they’re attached, but this is only temporary.

Who will see the video recordings?

The recordings will be reviewed solely by your physiologist and consultant neurophysiologist. Video clips of any seizures or typical episodes captured will be retained, while those without any recorded events will be deleted.

When will I get the results?

Results will be available within 5 working days, and your consultant will review the findings with you during a follow-up appointment.

What should I do if a seizure occurs at home?

Follow your seizure care plan, press the event marker on the device, and note down the details of the event.
