Who we are:

Cardiac Physiology is an ambitious and enthusiastic team supported by an equally ambitious and enthusiastic team of Cardiology Consultants. Together we strive to deliver high quality care to all our patients. As Physiologists, we support and provide a wide range of investigations, including all aspects of ambulatory monitoring, transthoracic, 3D TOE, Stress, DSE, 24/7 PPCI, Cath lab, IVUS, FFR, brady and complex CRM service. The department are currently experiencing some exciting changes, with the build of two new cath labs, and the development of an EP service.

Our vision is to provide outstanding care for every patient. Patient care is at the heart of what we do at our three sites: Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester and Andover War Memorial Hospital. Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides medical and surgical services to a population of approximately 600,000 people across Hampshire and parts of West Berkshire.

Our cultural ambition is to have a culture that places people at the heart of all we do, where we all belong, and where learning, improvement and excellence thrive.

We provide specialist services to people across the UK and internationally. We are one of only two centres in the UK treating pseudomyxoma peritonei (a rare form of abdominal cancer) and we are leaders in the field of tertiary liver cancer and colorectal cancer.

The trust employs more than 9,000 staff and has a turnover of over £500 million a year. As a Foundation Trust, we are directly accountable to our members through the governors.
