A full range of diagnostic equipment provides for ECG examination – whether the patient is confined to bed, walking or exercising – blood pressure monitoring, and trans-thoracic / trans-oesophageal echocardiography using ultrasound. There are twice weekly rapid access chest pain clinics and all our consultants hold general cardiology clinics.
