Summary
The East Midlands Congenital Heart Centre (EMCHC) located at Glenfield Hospital for the adult service and the Leicester Royal Infirmary for the paediatric service, and sits within the Womens and Childrens Clinical Management Group. It is a multidisciplinary service dedicated to the management of patients of all ages with congenital heart disease for the whole of the East Midlands, i.e. Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, South Derbyshire, most of Lincolnshire, West Cambridgeshire (Peterborough), Northamptonshire, and parts of Warwickshire. The collaboration of colleagues from paediatric and adult congenital cardiology, congenital cardiac surgery and paediatric intensive care to form a single seamless service has resulted in a safe, productive and happy working environment to the benefit of our patients. A full range of services are provided with the exception of transplantation. Cardiological services are delivered by 14 consultant cardiologists and include a full range of interventional procedures including PPVI, device closure of septal defects, PDAs and collaterals. There is a well-developed electrophysiological, fetal and adult congenital service. Intensive Care is provided for children in a dedicated PICU which also accommodates paediatric ECMO patients. There are 12 consultant paediatric intensivists, who also support the COMET transport service and ECMO service provision. The Congenital Heart Service in Leicester has grown markedly over the last several years with major expansion in both medical and surgical activity.
