Diagnostic healthcare professionals

Cardiac physiologists

Echo tech with patient

Our cardiac physiologists (CPs) help train specialists whose roles involve diagnostic testing, performing procedures such as ECGs, 24 hour blood pressure checks, echo scans, transthoracic echocardiogram, implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) clinics and pacing implants.


Cardiac physiologist posts seek to improve cardiac physiology services by:

  • organising and delivering training  of cardiac physiologists
  • raising the standard of clinical practice
  • identifying and making recommendations for future developments
  • redesigning and implementing training
  • raising the profile of the cardiac physiology profession.
