What is included in a sleep consultation?
Our consultant sleep disorders specialist and neurologist is Dr Oliver Bernath.
After a careful medical consultation and, if needed sleep and/or some blood tests, you may receive psychological, behavioural, and possibly pharmacological treatment to help you feel more refreshed, rested and sleep better.
We will start by offering you an initial in-person or virtual consultation, which would dive into the specific details of your sleep problems and define the goals for further assessment and treatment. It would include understanding your sleep-wake pattern and biorhythm, as well as exploring your overall well-being.
Based on your initial assessment and goals, some investigations may be required, such as blood tests and sleep tests. We offer the full range of sleep testing, including overnight polysomnography. Most sleep tests would be performed at your home, you would not be required to come to a sleep laboratory.

What does the treatment plan involve?
A personalised, tailored treatment plan would start with advice on good sleep hygiene and could include a range of psychological treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i) or Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), as well as lifestyle modifications and bright light treatment. Medications may be recommended, which could include herbal and natural remedies, or prescription drugs.
Your treatment plan would be coordinated with your other clinicians, as may be required.

What are the fees for the sleep services?
The initial 50-minutes consultation would cost £450 with our consultant sleep disorders specialist and neurologist, Dr Oliver Bernath. Follow-up appointment would last for 30 minutes and get charged at £275. Dr Bernath offers in person, as well as virtual appointments. Any additional costs for tests and treatments would be discussed and planned with you individually. Please note we have a 72-hour cancellation policy for initial assessments.
