Southampton - Wessex Cardiothoracic Centre (Profile)
The congenital cardiac centre in Southampton prides itself on being a well organised and highly equipped unit. This has allowed Southampton to attract highly-qualified staff over the years. We have built a comprehensive congenital cardiac service integrating care from fetus to late adult life. Our program is designed to respect the varying needs of different age-groups. We are fortunate in that our unit is supported by all regional adult and paediatric sub-specialty services on-site. Our unit comprises adjacent but separate paediatric, adolescent and adult inpatient and outpatient facilities.
