  • Cardioversions
  • Exercise tolerance tests
  • 24-hour tapes and cardiac event recorders
  • Rapid access chest pain service via the Emergency Department and GP referrals

We work closely with Basildon cardiothoracic centre and refer patients who require coronary artery stents and cardiac surgery to undergo procedures under their care.

Inpatient comment:

Everyone offered words of such reassurance and kindness. I felt so cared for and the communication with me at all times was fantastic.
