Our cardiology team will form an essential service to add to our hospital. Cardiovascular health directly impacts most of our other Specialist services and therefore the Cardiology team will be working closely alongside many of our other specialist teams as well as managing a wide variety of their own cases. The cardiology team will be accepting referrals in murmur investigation, whether congenital or acquired, breathing difficulties, exercise intolerance, collapsing episodes and arrhythmias.
