The University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust Cardiology Department is one of the largest in the UK and provides treatment for patients with every type of heart disease. There are specialist services for adults with congenital heart disease and for heart disease in pregnancy that provide high quality care to patients from the West Midlands and beyond.
The department is based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, although some pre-screening clinics still take place at the old Queen Elizabeth Hospital. We work closely with colleagues in the Cardiac Surgery department.
Advice and refer
University Hospitals Birmingham is using "advice and refer" as the only process for referrals from GPs for this service, using the "advice and guidance" functionality on the NHS e-Referral Service (e-RS). This will not change for cancer and two week wait (2WW) referrals.
For further information for patients, please see our advice and refer page.
