Cardiology services

Patients can expect receive on-going care and support from clinicians to help manage their heart condition.
A third of cardiology patients arrive through the Trust’s accident and emergency department. Emergency care is given to patients following a heart attack or other heart-related conditions. Following admission inpatients receive comprehensive and specialist care on our hospital wards.
