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. 

Our cardiothoracic surgeons

We are home to some of the UK’s most sought-after cardiothoracic surgeons, who have trained at top teaching hospitals across the country. Some surgeons are specialised in either cardiac surgery or thoracic surgery, while many perform both types.

Collectively, our surgeons hold a wealth of knowledge and experience in their field, so you can rest assured that you're in excellent hands.
