Bernard Prendergast
Chair of Cardiology Department
“You don't get to be the Number 1 provider of cardiovascular medicine in the US for 25 years in a row by accident! The prospect of bringing the same levels of excellence to London is tantalising. It’s the most exciting project in town and a privilege to be involved from the outset.”
