What are physiological measurements?
The term ‘Physiological Measurement’ has been adopted to reflect those services that predominantly focus on assessing the function of major organ systems, providing information on the extent of disease or disability and the provision and/or response to therapeutic interventions. There are eight different disciplines or areas recognised within Physiological Measurement, providing services to almost all clinical specialities and performing around 300 different specialist tests. It is estimated that approximately 10 million Physiological Measurement procedures are carried out per year.
