Cardiology

Cardiology is a branch of medicine which deals with disorders of the heart. Our Consultant Cardiologists are Dr David Lindsey and Dr Mrinal Saha. You may need to have further investigations following your consultation, if this is the case your investigations will occur at Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, but your outpatient appointments with the Consultant are likely to remain at Tetbury.

Cardiology appointments

You are likely to have been referred by your GP. You will be offered an appointment within two weeks of the referral being received. At your appointment you will be seen by the Consultant who will take a detailed history of your condition, so please bring any medication you are currently taking. If you require an interpreter please inform us prior to your appointment.
