Our Partnership

The partnership between Peninsula Heart Clinic (PHC) and University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust (UHP) enables UHP to outsource routine NHS activity to PHC allowing UHP consultant cardiologists to perform cardiac procedures on their own NHS patients. 


The location of PHC alongside the South West Regional Cardiothoracic Centre within Derriford Hospital was carefully chosen. This co-location alongside the Trust allows immediate, on-site access to cardiac surgeons, anaesthetists and critical care facilities should they be needed. It also all ensures PHC is able to adhere to all national clinical guidelines for coronary stenting and device implantation, as well as participate in national and local audits with UHP – this ensures safety and drives quality.
