This world-class cardiothoracic unit also has access

All private patients have full access to the specialist
theatres, cardiothoracic intensive care units and diagnostic
facilities on site. This allows ‘The Best of Both
Worlds’ experience of private
healthcare in an NHS facility providing the comfort of private
care with the clinical backup of a large acute hospital.

Nursing records will be kept in hard copy and electronically and
this can be made accessible for our
patients, wherever they may choose in the future.
