Sleep disturbance is a highly prevalent symptom, causing multiple health and lifestyle issues as well as knock-on impacts for conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. At OneWelbeck we have an advanced diagnostics pathway for those struggling with their sleep and experiencing symptoms such as snoring or insomnia. Our service will identify any medical sleep disorders and ensure you see the appropriate specialist. At OneWelbeck we have multispecialty expertise across Respiratory, Neurology, Cardiology and ENT, with leading doctors in the sleep field.
For patients experiencing sleep issues, the first step is to receive a consultation and set of diagnostic tests. Your appointment will comprise:
Following these tests, treatment with a device and/or other management strategies are discussed and arranged. This may involve referral to another specialty.
We see patients at all stages of their sleep journey, from initial self-referral with no prior medical tests through to GP referrals for specific conditions after diagnosis. We also see insured patients, but please make sure to check with your provider your treatment is covered.
Price for Sleep Diagnostics Pathway: £495
Alternatively, if you would prefer to receive just a consultation with one of our respiratory consultants we offer this for £250. This is also available to discuss prior test results or diagnoses.

Multi-specialty clinical sleep group with specialised consultants
OneWelbeck takes a multi-specialty approach to sleep disorders, with leading consultants across Respiratory, Neurology, ENT and Cardiology who all have expertise in the various medical conditions which impact sleep. Whilst your journey will typically start in our Lung Health centre for diagnosis, you will then be referred to see the most appropriate specialist.
Leading service for diagnostics and treatments
We offer a full specialist evaluation, and a range of home diagnostic sleep studies including sleep apnoea screening devices, NOX T3 studies, actigraphy watch and sleep diary for insomnia.
We provide follow-up treatments such as CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) devices which are the gold standard for sleep apnoea, mandibular advancement devices, chin straps, and CBTi for insomnia.
A more detailed multispecialty assessment with ENT, Neurology or Cardiology are also available when deemed necessary.
Patient experience
Easily-accessed in central London, the centre is a calm and relaxing space with no congested waiting areas, and has been purpose-built with patients’ needs in mind. Every appointment has 30 minutes allocated, meaning the examination isn’t rushed and you have the opportunity to ask as many questions as you wish.
Onward referrals to other specialists if required
If required, we also have specialists in the building who can help with related conditions such as Endocrinologists, Bariatrics, Pain Management and MSK specialists.
If you’re experiencing sleep disturbance, excessive daytime sleepiness / tiredness, loud snoring or concerns about irregular night-time breathing patterns, then our initial diagnostic pathway is for you.
If you already know you have a sleep condition and have a GP referral, our specialists are happy for you to book directly with them for assessment and treatment.
We recommend trying to make improvements in your sleep hygiene and environment to see if this helps you before pursuing medical diagnostics. For tips on what you can do at home to improve your sleep, click the button below.
