Sleep breathing disorders

Sleep services at ESNEFT

Our sleep services departments offer a range of sleep apnoea testing and treatments.

Please note that the departments do not offer drop-in appointments for any sleep related queries.

Your GP will refer you to our service.

The service operates from Colchester and Ipswich hospitals.

Sleep study tests are also performed at the Clacton Community Diagnostic Centre.
