How Many Clinics?

[Sparticus]

Would it be possible to get a list of every sleep clinic in the UK? I think I may have to do some homework here, if anyone has any ideas on how to go about this then please post. I want to make a UK top ten list and all the rest of sleep clinics. Some people like myself rely heavily on the NHS for our equipment and cannot aford to go splashing out on Sleepweaver masks and the like and it would be nice to know who are the best clinics in the uk with the shorter waiting times and plenty of equipment.

Interesting there are 48 private clinics in the UK.

Sleep Clinics in Scotland

Looks like you were not getting much sleep this morning, Sparticus!

Am I right in assuming these are all NHS centres?
Do you know if there are any private sleep clinics in Scotland?

[Fredxx]

BMI hospitals do Sleep studies. I don't know how much they charge or which hospitals they do it out of (not all their hospitals do all treatments), but I do know they have 4 hospitals in Scotland

I haven't used their sleep clinics, but have used them via medical insurance for various treatments.

Madness will have to quit drinking lol

[James @ Intus]

We have them here already, and with the community overhaul, will indeed expand it and update it. Can indeed merge with your list:

Also:

And:

http://www.sleep-apnoea-trust.org/sleep-clinics.php

Note that a number of clinics doesn't give the full picture. Almost half of them are a phone on a desk with never anyone answering it, as it's a small sub-section of the lung function lab. I count just 70 or so "true" sleep clinics whereas in total, you will find over 200 in the UK.
