Ron was visiting fellow in Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology at the Medical University of South Carolina USA 2003-2005. Since joining the North Middlesex Hospital in 2005 he has initiated and set-up a specialist arrhythmia clinic locally which allows direct listing of patients for ablation at the Heart Hospital and have listed over 500 patients. He has also been instrumental in setting up a multidisciplinary heart failure clinic for our catchment area. He helped set up a service that allows the catheter based treatments of patients with suitable rhythm disturbance locally.
