World-Class Private Cardiology Services in Partnership with University Hospitals Dorset

The Dorset Heart Clinic is a state-of-the-art, private patient cardiology centre located within The Royal Bournemouth Hospital. We are the largest dedicated private cardiology centre on the south coast of England. Your team at Dorset Heart Clinic provides a best-of-both-worlds approach: access to expert care from top UK cardiologists and the highest standards of patient service, combined with the confidence of being in an NHS hospital with the vast array of specialist equipment and resources often lacking in a private hospital – we deliver the highest standards of safety and quality without compromise.

You also visit us with the knowledge that monies are being re-invested back into The Royal Bournemouth Hospital to help front-line NHS care. Whether you are insured or paying for your own treatment, we are happy to welcome you.

Trained in some of the leading cardiac hospitals from both across the UK and the world—and with a wealth of experience in private cardiology; our consultants are the best in their field. They provide expertise in every sub-specialty of cardiology with reputations synonymous with excellence both nationally and internationally. They effectively diagnose and treat numerous common and complex heart conditions to give the healthcare each patient needs.

Dorset Heart Clinic income supports the NHS. The business model is based upon keeping private work within The Royal Bournemouth Hospital so that income can be used to benefit frontline NHS clinical services – supporting clinical staff and allowing the NHS to purchase new equipment. We believe this is an important point of differentiation between ourselves and the traditional private hospital model.

We believe high quality and safe healthcare go hand in hand. Our location within the Royal Bournemouth Hospital provides our patients with the knowledge that they have on-site access to the very best staff and clinical resources 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Private hospitals often lack these resources and therefore require an emergency transfer policy with their nearest NHS hospital – this is why we are proud to offer Care without Compromise.

Our Patient Testimonials

"My experience with Dorset Heart Clinic was 10 out of 10. From meeting staff at reception and getting an appointment very quickly, to going through an Angiogram and recovering made the whole experience very bearable compared to other hospital experiences I have had in the past. All the office and medical staff have a real sense of empathy to my condition and have a calming way of dealing with it."
