Pacing Checks

I can recall going for a pacemaker check years ago, and there was one person doing the test.

for a little while now i see there are two senior heart physiologists doing the test, and aparently it wont be the same two on next visit,  so how long has this been in place Any ideas ?

Sorry, I don't understand your question. 

Can you give us a little more information about what it is you need to know?

You are probably misreading the situation. While I don't know the rules in the UK the shortage of medical personnel says they would not require two people when it is a single person job. I have had more than one time that St. Jude's rep had a trainee along during an interrogation. It may be something that simple. Next time ask them, you are the customer

Had same experience with St Jude as "the real patch". Ask if it happens again. They work for you. Remember, you are paying them for services and you have a right to know why two are present.
