Key facts

What defines this clinic.

A single-pathway sleep and snoring service - assessment, sleep study, CPAP and surgical routes under one roof.

  • One-stop snoring + sleep clinic

    A single, structured pathway for snoring, OSA and complex sleep disorders - assessment, diagnosis and treatment in one place.

  • Consultant sleep physician + ENT

    Sleep-medicine consultant working alongside an ENT surgeon, with a sleep scientist for study interpretation.

  • Home or in-lab sleep study

    From at-home multi-channel testing to full attended polysomnography (PSG) in a dedicated sleep laboratory.

  • CPAP titration on-site

    If OSA is confirmed, CPAP set-up, mask fitting and titration are delivered within the same clinic.

  • Direct ENT surgical pathway

    Straight-line referral for UPPP, tonsillectomy, nasal surgery, MMA and hypoglossal nerve stimulator assessment.

  • Complements weight-loss + lifestyle

    Integrates with medical weight-loss, bariatric and lifestyle programmes for durable OSA control.

The problem

Snoring and OSA sit across three specialities.

Sleep medicine, ENT and weight management each own part of the answer - and patients too often bounce between them. A one-stop clinic collapses that into a single pathway.

  • Excessive daytime sleepiness?

    Sleep-medicine assessment with Epworth and STOP-BANG, then structured next steps.

  • CPAP intolerant or previous failure?

    ENT surgical review, mandibular device or hypoglossal nerve stimulator assessment.

Diagnosis pathway

How the clinic reaches a diagnosis.

A structured, consultant-led pathway - each step is a real decision point.

  1. 01

    Sleep-medicine consultation

    Consultant sleep physician assessment: symptoms, comorbidities, driving history and airway examination.

  2. 02

    Epworth Sleepiness Scale + STOP-BANG

    Validated scoring for daytime sleepiness and pre-test probability of obstructive sleep apnoea.

  3. 03

    Home sleep study or in-lab PSG

    Home multi-channel study for uncomplicated OSA; attended polysomnography for complex or ambiguous cases.

  4. 04

    Interpretation by sleep physician

    Consultant-level reporting of AHI, ODI, position dependence and sleep architecture.

  5. 05

    CPAP titration if OSA

    Mask fitting, pressure titration and structured onboarding when OSA is confirmed.

  6. 06

    ENT + weight-loss referral if indicated

    Direct pathway to ENT surgery, bariatric medicine or lifestyle programmes where CPAP alone is insufficient.

  7. 07

    Structured plan

    A written plan with clear treatment, follow-up and escalation triggers - shared with your GP.

What it shows

What a sleep study actually measures.

Sleep studies quantify airway events, oxygenation, sleep architecture and event patterns - the metrics that drive the treatment plan.

  • AHI (apnoea-hypopnoea index)

    Events per hour of sleep - the primary metric for OSA severity.

  • Oxygen desaturation index

    How often and how deeply oxygen saturations drop overnight.

  • Position-dependent OSA

    Apnoea events concentrated in the supine position - a treatable subtype.

  • REM-related OSA

    Events clustered in REM sleep - often under-diagnosed on home studies.

  • Complex / mixed apnoea

    A combination of obstructive and central events requiring specialist titration.

  • Central sleep apnoea

    Loss of respiratory drive rather than airway collapse - different treatment pathway.

  • Sleep architecture

    Sleep stages, arousals and continuity - captured on in-lab PSG.

  • Red flag: severe OSA + heart failure - urgent CPAP + cardiology

    Severe OSA with cardiac disease warrants urgent CPAP initiation and cardiology co-management.

Treatment options

The full ladder - from CPAP to surgery.

A one-stop clinic means every rung of the treatment ladder is on the same pathway.

  • CPAP for OSA

    First-line treatment for moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnoea - with on-site titration and support.

  • Mandibular advancement device

    Custom oral appliance for mild-to-moderate OSA or CPAP-intolerant patients.

  • Positional therapy

    Targeted therapy for supine-dependent OSA - often overlooked, sometimes curative.

  • Weight loss + lifestyle

    Structured medical weight-loss, alcohol reduction and sleep hygiene as adjunct or standalone therapy.

  • Bariatric referral

    Direct pathway to bariatric medicine and surgery for OSA driven by obesity.

  • ENT surgery (UPPP, tonsillectomy, MMA)

    Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, tonsillectomy, nasal surgery or maxillomandibular advancement for anatomical drivers.

  • Hypoglossal nerve stimulator

    Implantable neurostimulation for selected CPAP-intolerant OSA patients.

  • Structured sleep-medicine follow-up

    Ongoing consultant review, adherence tracking and escalation triggers.

Red flags

When a home study is not enough.

These presentations warrant in-lab polysomnography and consultant sleep-physician input - not a home study alone.

  • Severe OSA (AHI > 30)

  • Central sleep apnoea

  • Obesity hypoventilation

  • Occupational driving

  • Heart failure with OSA

  • Refractory hypertension

  • Post-stroke OSA

  • Complex parasomnia

  • REM behaviour disorder

Safety and eligibility

A safe, structured pathway - with real caveats.

Sleep studies are non-invasive and CPAP is highly effective. The practical points are when a home study is enough, when DVLA rules apply, and when the disease itself must be taken more seriously than the diagnostic.

  • Home study, minimal disruption

    A discreet multi-channel recorder worn overnight in your own bed - no clinic stay.

  • In-lab PSG for complex cases

    Attended overnight study in a dedicated sleep lab, with technologist support throughout.

  • CPAP is highly effective

    For moderate-to-severe OSA, CPAP is first-line and dramatically reduces cardiovascular and driving risk.

  • Driving and OSA

    DVLA rules apply - untreated moderate-to-severe OSA with sleepiness must be reported. See the DVLA guidance.

  • Alcohol and sedatives worsen OSA

    Both increase upper-airway collapse and apnoea severity - factored into your plan.

  • Weight loss is disease-modifying

    Even 10% weight reduction can meaningfully reduce AHI in obesity-driven OSA.

  • Not every snorer has OSA

    Snoring without apnoea is common - and treatable - but doesn’t always require CPAP.

  • Complex sleep disorders exist

    Parasomnias, REM behaviour disorder and central apnoeas need specialist assessment, not just a home study.

  • Bring prior studies and CPAP data

    Previous sleep reports and CPAP download data materially sharpen the assessment.

Reading your report

A sleep-study report can look intimidating. It isn’t.

Whatever the finding, the report keeps to the same four parts.

A quiet reminder

The report is written for your doctor, not for you - and that’s normal.

If you would like it talked through before your follow-up, ask your sleep physician or GP.

Frequently asked

Common questions about the sleep and snoring clinic.

Quick answers on cost, home vs in-lab studies, CPAP, DVLA rules and surgical pathways.

  • What is a one-stop snoring and sleep clinic?

    A single-pathway private clinic where a consultant sleep physician, ENT surgeon and sleep scientist work together - so assessment, sleep study, CPAP titration and any surgical pathway are handled from one place, rather than across separate referrals.

  • Home sleep study or in-lab polysomnography?

    A home sleep study is enough for most uncomplicated OSA in otherwise healthy adults. In-lab polysomnography (PSG) is the right test for complex or ambiguous cases - REM-related OSA, central apnoea, parasomnias, significant cardiac disease, or when a home study has been inconclusive.

  • What does a private sleep clinic cost in London?

    A sleep-medicine consultation is typically £250–£450; a home sleep study £300–£550; in-lab PSG £950–£1,800. A full snoring and OSA work-up including CPAP set-up is usually £1,600–£3,200.

  • Do I need a referral?

    Most private sleep clinics accept self-referral.

  • Will I need CPAP for life?

    CPAP is the most effective treatment for moderate-to-severe OSA and is often long-term. For some patients, meaningful weight loss, ENT surgery, positional therapy or a mandibular device can reduce or replace CPAP - the sleep physician sets that expectation from your study.

  • What about DVLA and driving?

    DVLA rules require untreated moderate-to-severe OSA with excessive sleepiness to be reported. Once treatment is effective and sleepiness controlled, driving is generally permitted. Your sleep physician can advise on the reporting and evidence.

In practice, in London

The honest picture around sleep studies snoring clinic in London

With sleep studies snoring clinic, the London question is usually about report turnaround and the radiologist reading it - not whether the scan is available. On the NHS, sleep studies snoring clinic typically sits behind a triage step and a wait that can stretch from a few weeks into months. In London’s private sector, the same appointment often lands within days. That speed matters when symptoms are disrupting work, sleep, or a plan you’d already committed to - and it’s a common reason people consider private care.

A typical private booking for sleep studies snoring clinic in London starts with a consultant conversation - sometimes in person on Harley Street or Marylebone, sometimes on video if that suits better. Any imaging or diagnostics happen at a nearby CQC-registered facility, and reports usually land within 24 to 72 hours. The whole loop, from first call to written report, is often done inside a fortnight. For sleep studies snoring clinic specifically, the difference between a routine report and a sub-speciality read is where private care earns its keep.

It helps to keep expectations realistic. A private sleep studies snoring clinic appointment in London won’t change the underlying medicine - the guidelines, the consultants, and the equipment are largely the same as on the NHS. What it changes is speed, continuity, and the amount of time you get to actually talk through the findings. UK doctors must be GMC-registered, and independent healthcare facilities in England are regulated by the CQC.
