Pioneering new treatments and diagnostics
Our specialists continually work to advance the fields of heart and lung care by developing new minimally invasive treatments, as well as new techniques to diagnose conditions earlier.
We established Europe’s first clinics for adult congenital heart disease and adult cystic fibrosis at Royal Brompton Hospital. Both have grown to be the largest in the region for the treatment of these conditions.
Harefield Hospital is home to Europe’s first successful double heart and lung transplant and remains one of the top centres in the world for these procedures.

We offer advanced sleep studies and the most effective treatments across the full spectrum of sleep disorders to help patients get the rest they need.
