Questions and Answers about Private Care

  • Top Consultants
    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.
  • Supporting the NHS
    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.
  • Leading Technology
    Technology plays a crucial role in healthcare. And the latest technology is required for the best care. For this reason, we use the latest cutting-edge medical equipment and software in the field, from patient examinations to diagnosis to treatments.
  • Safety of the NHS
    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.
  • Quick and Easy Access
    Any health condition can be stressful, so we strive to offer quick and easy access to all our services. From same-day appointments to speedy results—rapid diagnosis to effective treatment; we aim to bring our patients peace of mind.
