Hello :-)

I am not sure but try phoning your local Hospital cardiology department and ask them they should be able to point you in the right direction where you can get it done nearest to where you are

Let us know how you get on :-) x

I needed one for my diving medical. I finally got one by contacting a private hospital group called Spire and saw a cardiologist privately and he did the treadmill stress test. Plenty of places in London seem to offer them but it’s along way. I suspect you’ll find you’ll have to pay for it yourself. The test cost about £300 but I had to add on the cost of seeing the cardiologist etc. About £1000 in total by the time I’d finished. It’s called a Bruce stress test and it’s worth looking it up on YouTube and I went to a gym for several weeks before hand to practice to make sure I could do it to an acceptable level.

Hi maybe the Nuffield clinic, it's a private hospital just off Great Western road or Ross Hall hospital in Crookston Rd would do them. It might be worth giving them a call. Char
