Dorset County Hospital

I found a passion for Interventional Cardiology when I began working in the Cardiac Catheter Lab at DCH in 2007.
I am particularly interested in complex PCI, Microvascualr Angina and Coronary Sinus Reducers.
My hunger for education and the emphasis of this on the AHP team has been something that I have always strived for. The engagement of the entire MDT in a Cath Lab has been proven to aid success in procedures, as well as promoting patient safety and efficiencies.
