Our physiologists are also part of the multidisciplinary team that carry out patient care and
monitoring during coronary angiography.
Patient care and well being is of utmost importance to all our staff. All procedures are
undertaken with a friendly yet professional attitude to attempt to put patients at ease during what may be a
difficult time for them.
We strive to create a welcoming and helpful environment for all our patients, visitors and
staff. |
