Cardiology services in the second lockdown

Unlike the first lockdown the government is keen that hospital activity and appointments for non-COVID related conditions is maintained at the highest capacity that it is safe, for each hospital. Southampton Spire has confirmed that outpatients tests (eg echos and cardiac monitors) and consultations may continue as normal. Southampton Spire has worked hard to provide one of the safest clinical environments for such services.

• You will be checked for symptoms and have your temperature checked at the door before you are allowed in.
• If you are unwell (cough, loss of smell, symptoms of cold/flu) and/or have a fever please do not attend but let us know so we can safely reschedule your appointment.
• Social distancing including: hand gel/hygiene and wearing of masks at all times is expected during your visit to the Spire.
• There are appropriate safety measures such as screens at the outpatient reception and safely spaced waiting seats in the outpatient area.
• Capacity for tests and clinic appointments is understandably reduced to allow thorough cleaning between patients and minimum risk of infection,

​Should you have tests and/or an outpatient consultation at the Spire you can rest assured this is conducted in the safest way possible. If you have any concerns or questions our secretaries would be happy to discuss these with you.
