As a global centre of excellence, we treat patients from across the world, delivering a personalised service to ensure a comfortable stay for patients and their families. Central to our success is our ability to attract medical staff from around the globe whose combined expertise enables us to lead the way in complex heart and lung care. Over the years, our consultants have been responsible for several major medical breakthroughs, including performing the first heart and lung transplant, founding the largest centre for cystic fibrosis in Europe and discovering the genetic mutation responsible for the heart condition dilated cardiomyopathy. With first-class private facilities across two NHS teaching hospitals, we are able to combine dedicated private care with the very best expertise and most advanced facilities available. As such, our consultants carry out some of the most complicated surgeries and pioneering treatments in the world. As well as travelling internationally to lecture and share their knowledge, our clinicians hold prominent positions on international boards, committees, institutions and professional associations. Our commitment to training, education and research partnerships with respected institutions such as Imperial College and the National Heart and Lung Institute help us to drive up international standards of medical care, benefiting patients and clinical staff alike.
