Cardiology Services
Trusted processes for elective recovery across the NHS
Our Understanding of Cardiology
Cardiology is a major medical specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of heart and circulatory conditions. It includes acute and chronic disease management across ischaemic heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, valvular disease, and preventative care. With cardiovascular disease remaining the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the UK, demand for timely cardiology services is high.
NHS Trusts face sustained pressure in cardiology due to increasing prevalence of heart disease, an ageing population, and high demand for diagnostic investigations such as echocardiography and ECG monitoring. Backlogs can result in delayed diagnoses, increased hospital admissions, and poorer outcomes for patients at risk of major cardiac events.
At NCI, we understand that cardiology requires consultant-led multidisciplinary teams, rapid diagnostic capacity, and seamless integration across acute and elective pathways.
