Cardiology (Acute)

Cardiology provides comprehensive care for patients with heart disease, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, arrythmia, and chest pain, and delivers diagnostic, interventional and specialist services. Ward 7 has a five-bedded, monitored Cardiac Unit, with an 18-bedded ward. Our Consultants perform angiograms, TOE, pacemakers, stress echo, complex devices, and loop recorders. In collaboration with a neighbouring Trust, we provide an EP service for ablation procedures. Our team includes Consultants, Specialist Nurses, service leads and Physiologists to ensure safe, efficient, and patient-centred care across inpatient and outpatient settings.

Mission Statement:

To provide a service to all patients across the Walsall borough. Our goal is to offer a friendly, open service to all our patients and their families by working together to make a difference. We endeavour to provide a quality service, which encompasses and maintains all aspects of their needs.

The Cardiology Ward is Ward 7, on Route 231, with the Cardiac Intervention Suite opposite.

Patients can access care through several referral routes to ensure they receive timely assessment and treatment. GPs can refer patients directly for outpatient review or diagnostic testing.

Emergency Department clinicians can refer patients who present with acute cardiac symptoms requiring specialist follow up and inpatient teams can refer during admission with onward Cardiology review arranged on discharge if further investigation or management is required. These pathways support a safe, co-ordinated care and ensure patients move smoothly into the appropriate cardiac service.

The service operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and based on Route 231.

Outpatient clinics run 9am-5pm, Monday to Friday.

Telephone: 01922 721172.

The Cardiology department works in collaboration with The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust (RWT).
