Diagnostics at home
ECG at home
A resting ECG in your home, reviewed by a GP.
From £120
This is not an emergency service. If someone has chest pain, stroke signs, severe breathing difficulty, heavy bleeding or collapse, call 999 or go to A&E. We work alongside the NHS, not instead of it.
About this service
An ECG at home is a resting heart tracing done in your house and reviewed by a GP. It is useful when travel is hard or we are already visiting. Chest pain, sudden breathlessness or collapse is 999, not a home ECG booking. Standalone clinic ECG pages live on friendsmedicalservice.com so the two sites do not compete.
Is this right for me?
- Planned ECG as part of a home visit
- Monitoring known issues when a GP has asked for a tracing
- Patients who cannot get to clinic
Working alongside your NHS team
We do not replace your NHS GP, district nurse, consultant or A&E. We add private capacity at home. If you already have an NHS package, tell us so we do not duplicate or confuse the plan.

FAQs
Should I book a home ECG for chest pain?
No. Call 999. A home ECG is a planned test, not an emergency heart service.
