Our Mission

Our mission is to provide world-class cardiac services using a specialist model that leverages innovation, the best-in-knowledge clinical pathways and smarter operating processes.

Our specialist model re-engineers healthcare delivery and creates value in several ways.

Scale, standardisation and repetition of best practices increases operational efficiency. Staff are allowed to focus on doing a few things well as opposed to being stretched over multiple conditions. Concentrating efforts in our single specialty leads to a virtuous circle whereby we accumulate experience, improve safety, reduce cost and ultimately deliver better patient outcomes.
