Sleep Apnoea Clinic
Fast, accurate diagnosis and effective treatment — without long NHS waits
Poor sleep isn’t just about feeling tired. Sleep apnoea is a common but under-diagnosed condition that can affect your energy, concentration, mood and long-term health.
Alarmingly, 2.5 million adults who may have the condition without a formal diagnosis.
At Chequers Sleep Apnoea Clinic, we provide rapid access to sleep testing, specialist review and treatment, helping you get answers — and better sleep — quickly.

What conditions can sleep apnoea testing and treatment help with?
Diagnosing and treating sleep apnoea can support people with, or at risk of:
-
High blood pressure
-
Heart disease or irregular heart rhythms
-
Type 2 diabetes
-
Stroke risk
-
Obesity-related health issues
-
Poor work performance, driving fatigue, or safety-critical roles
Early diagnosis is key — untreated sleep apnoea can place ongoing strain on the heart, brain, and overall health.
Symptoms of Sleep Apnoea
- Loud or persistent snoring
-
Feeling exhausted despite a full night’s sleep
-
Excessive daytime sleepiness or poor concentration
-
Morning headaches or dry mouth
-
Waking up gasping, choking, or short of breath

Mood changes, irritability, or memory problems
In many cases, symptoms are first noticed by a partner or family member rather than the person affected.

Frequently Asked Questions
You will need to come into clinic for a short period of time before the infusion, for the duration of the infusion and you will then be asked to stay for further monitoring for about 30 minutes after the infusion.
Oral iron is used initially to treat iron deficiency anaemia. Sometimes this does not produce enough of an improvement, or it may be that your doctor needs to replenish your iron quickly. Intravenous iron is used when oral iron has been tried or if it is not suitable and it helps to reduce the use of blood transfusions.
Intravenous iron is an extremely safe and effective therapy. Some of the side effects that have been reported are:
- Staining – If your cannula was to displace from your vein during treatment the drug could be deposited in your skin rather than into your bloodstream. This could result in a brown stain to the skin. If you notice pain at the injection site during your treatment, please inform the nurse caring for you immediately. This will minimise any such risk.
- Change in total body skin colour – This is an extremely rare occurrence. It has been reported that some patients noted their skin to become darker (like a suntan) for a period of weeks after treatment with intravenous iron. This was not permanent and resolved after several weeks.
- Allergy – historically intravenous iron preparations carried a risk of allergy (ranging from a mild reaction like itchy skin through to anaphylaxis that could be life threatening). With today’s modern iron preparation this is uncommon (1 in a 100 to 1 in a 1000 risk). Please inform the nurse caring for you immediately if you experience any of the following during your treatment (swelling of lips, tongue, face or throat, shortness of breath, itching, a feeling of all over body heat, heart racing heat or faint like symptoms)
- Delayed reaction – Although uncommon, some patients may experience muscle or joint pains and fever in the days after treatment. This usually lasts two to four days and can be managed with simple painkillers like paracetamol Iron infusions are commonly used after the first trimester in pregnancy. It is important that you also read the patient information leaflet for the product.
Your anaemia/ low blood count is expected to improve.
If you are taking oral iron, you should stop this the day before you come into our clinic for your Iron Infusion.

You may rarely experience muscle or joint pains; these can be managed with simple painkillers such as paracetamol.
Simple painkillers for any joint pain can be taken when you go home following your completed monitoring period at our clinic.

If left unaddressed, iron deficiency can have significant long-term health consequences. Beyond the fatigue and discomfort it causes, untreated iron deficiency can severely impact your quality of life, affecting daily activities, work productivity, and general well-being. It’s crucial to identify and manage iron deficiency before it progresses to more severe forms, such as anaemia.
Although you consent for this treatment, you may at any time after that withdraw such consent. Please discuss this with your medical team.
