Our expert surgical team
At the Heart and Lung Centre, our team of surgeons and clinical experts deliver world-class cardiothoracic surgery and comprehensive follow-up care.
Our multidisciplinary approach
Although each patient will receive a lead consultant to guide them throughout treatment, they’ll also benefit from our multidisciplinary approach to care.
Our multidisciplinary team (MDT) – consisting of surgeons, cardiologists, clinical nurse specialists and other experts – meets regularly to discuss patient cases and share collective knowledge, ensuring that patients are receiving the best, most informed treatment plans possible.
