Premier medical facilities
Based within The Wellington Hospital’s internationally renowned centre of excellence for cardiac care, we also offer our patients unlimited access to the facilities and expert medical support of the UK’s leading private hospital.
We ensure that any procedure or treatment you undergo at LHRC takes place in the safest possible medical environment.
Specialist cardiac support
Our specialists consult regularly with their peers, sharing insights on clinical work and discussing treatment approaches and possible procedures and pathways for each case. Often, consultants will team up to perform a complex procedure together.
Our consultative approach means we discuss treatment plans and surgical approaches to a far greater depth. I think this high level of peer consideration, consultation and experience sharing is a huge benefit for the patient, leads to better consensus on how to manage each case, and better outcomes for the patient
Dr Afzal Sohaib, Consultant Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist
