The RB&HH Visiting Doctor Programme sees our consultants travel to overseas hospitals to work alongside local consultants, sharing expertise and training local teams. RB&HH also offer a remote second opinion


service to overseas patients perhaps not able to travel to the UK. Our experts will review the patient’s medical reports and diagnostic tests, and provide their medical recommendation that can be shared with the patient’s doctor. We even offer a chance to set up a remote video consultation in order to provide the patient with even more access to our consultants.


RB&HH Specialist Care offers observership and


clinical fellowship programmes within our hospitals, enabling doctors to develop their expertise in heart and lung care. We have links with Zhejiang Health Bureau which provides clinical placements for around 40 doctors in their individual specialities per year. Six of our consultants have signed up to oversee these placements at Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals. Being able to attract the best medical staff from around the world has been central to our success.
