Welcome page

Peninsula Heart Clinic is a brand new, state-of-the-art, cardiology centre located alongside the South West Regional Cardiothoracic Centre at Derriford hospital in Plymouth.

We are designed to offer services primarily for NHS patients to help lower waiting times, but we also have the capacity to treat patients that wish to use their private medical insurance or self-pay.

Peninsula Heart Clinic is a highly innovative partnership between University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust (UHP) and an independent company called Regent’s Park Healthcare.* For more details please read here.

We are led by the entire team of consultant cardiologists from UHP, all renowned in their respective areas of clinical practice with reputations synonymous with excellence at both a national and international level. They are some of the best cardiologists in the UK.

We put our patients first and everything we do is for the purpose of making you feel valued and special. We provide a safe, friendly and comfortable environment for patients and their families at what we recognise is a vulnerable time in their lives. Our services are designed and delivered to suit the patient, never forgetting that each person is individual and has specific emotional as well as clinical needs. We want you to enter Peninsula Heart Clinic knowing that you are entering a safe, friendly and caring environment and we want you to leave knowing that you have had a patient experience of the highest quality.

In summary, Peninsula Heart Clinic provides a unique ‘best-of-both-worlds’ approach to safety and quality: Access to a heart unit with modern surroundings and equipment, operated by expert independent managers and staff, but at the same time fully integrated with polices and care pathways used by the NHS. As well as the confidence of being on a major NHS Regional Cardiothoracic Centre campus with the vast array of critical care resources often lacking in a standalone independent hospital – this ensures we deliver the highest standards of safety and quality without compromise.

*Regent’s Park Healthcare is the UK’s leading independent cardiac services company that has been delivering cardiology services in partnership with NHS hospital cardiology departments since 2002. For more information visit: www.regentsparkhealthcare.com
