Private Cardiology Services

Consultant-Led Heart Assessments Without Waiting Lists

We provide private cardiology consultations and investigations, led by an experienced consultant cardiologist, offering rapid access to diagnostic tests and personalised treatment plans — without NHS waiting lists.

You can choose a comprehensive assessment package or start with a simple new patient consultation, with investigations tailored specifically to your symptoms and clinical needs.

Why choose private cardiology care

  • Consultant cardiologist–led care from first consultation to diagnosis
  • No waiting lists for tests or results
  • Investigations coordinated in a single pathway
  • Evidence-based, personalised recommendations
  • Clear explanations and written outcomes
  • Calm, unhurried, patient-centred approach

Start with a Consultant Cardiology Consultation (No Package Required)

If you prefer, you can begin with a new patient consultation only.

During your appointment, the consultant cardiologist will:

  • Take a detailed history
  • Assess symptoms and risk factors
  • Perform a focused cardiovascular examination
  • Explain likely causes and concerns
  • Recommend only the investigations you actually need

This approach allows your investigation and treatment journey to be tailored entirely to you, without any obligation to commit to a predefined package. Investigations can then be arranged promptly following your consultation if required.

Comprehensive Cardiology Assessment Packages

For patients who prefer a structured, all-inclusive assessment, we also offer the following specialist packages. These combine consultation and investigations into a single, coordinated pathway.

Package pricing benefit

When booked upfront, our assessment packages attract a 5% cost saving, which is applied automatically at invoicing. This reflects the efficiencies of coordinated testing and offers better overall value compared with booking investigations individually.
