About me
Lydia qualified in 1998 from University College London after gaining many undergraduate prizes and a 1st Class BSc Honours degree. She trained in cardiology at Guys and St. Thomas' Hospitals and South East England, and gained valuable experience in cardiomyopathy during a period of research at The Heart Hospital, UCL.
She completed her training in 2010 working as a consultant cardiologist in East Sussex before relocating to Frimley Park Hospital where her husband works as an consultant orthopaedic surgeon. However, she maintains strong links with East Sussex as a member of Eastbourne, Seaford and Hailsham Clinical Commissioning Group.
Lydia is a well rounded cardiologist who has dual accreditation with General Internal Medicine. She has a genuine focus on providing care which is tailored to each individual patient and recognises that the joy of her job is that no two consultations are ever the same!
Lydia has specialist interests in echocardiography including the non invasive assessment of chest pain, heart valve disease and heart failure including familial cardiomyopathy and cardiomyopathy associated with systemic disease.
Areas of interest
Heart failure; Cardiomyopathy; Cardiac imaging including echocardiography; stress echo; transoesphageal echo; Valve disease; General cardiology; Hypertension
