Bluecrest connects with One Heart Clinic on self-pay cardiology care pathway

Bluecrest has partnered with cardiology centre One Heart Clinic in a bid to improve self-pay access to specialist heart care for those without private medical insurance.

Rolled out this month, the arrangement will be available to all customers who undergo a Bluecrest health assessment.

It offers the following guide prices for Bluecrest patients:

  • Hypertension (home BP monitoring, 5 days): £95.
  • Ambulatory ECG (24‑hour Holter): £185.
  • Echocardiogram (Echo): £300.
  • New patient cardiology consultation (video or face‑to‑face): £292.

The new pathway allows individuals to move from screening to specialist consultation and includes personalised clinical triage and access to advanced diagnostic tools.

Dr Martin Thornton, chief medical officer at Bluecrest Wellness, said: “We know that screening without support only gives patients half of a vital picture.

“Our partnership with One Heart Clinic provides a direct route to some of the UK’s leading heart specialists for those most at risk, to help offer clarity and control when time matters most.

“This pathway isn’t about replacing the NHS, it’s about complementing it.

“When someone receives new health information that raises concerns, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our aim is to reduce that potential anxiety by offering rapid access to expert guidance and further testing, so individuals feel informed, supported and in control at a time when it matters most.”

Nick Bird, CEO of One Heart Clinic, added: “Too often, individuals receive screening results that highlight possible concerns but are left in limbo without a clear next step. That uncertainty can be just as distressing as the condition itself.

“By partnering with Bluecrest, we are creating a seamless pathway from initial screening through to specialist care, ensuring that those most at risk are given rapid clarity, personalised guidance, and, where necessary, advanced diagnostics.

“This approach not only provides patients with peace of mind and timely answers, but it also enables earlier interventions that can make a meaningful difference to long-term health outcomes.”
