Dr Edward Leatham

MA Cantab, MBBS, MD, MRCP

Consultant Cardiologist and Physician

With over 28 years’ experience in cardiology and internal medicine, Dr Leatham has been practising in Guildford since 1998. He served as Lead Clinician and R&D Lead at the Royal Surrey County Hospital, where he established some of the UK’s earliest advanced cardiology services in a district general hospital, including the one-stop chest pain clinic, diagnostic angiography and pacing service, transoesophageal echocardiography, stress perfusion echocardiography, cardiac MRI, and cardiac CT.

He is co-founder of the Heart and Stroke Trust Endeavour (HASTE) charity, which funded and built the cardiac wing at the Royal Surrey County Hospital. Until October 2021, he was one of six consultant cardiologists responsible for the NHS Guildford Coronary Care Unit (CCU), and also held honorary consultant roles at Frimley Park NHS Trust and the Royal Brompton Hospital in London. Over his career, he has treated many thousands of NHS and private patients with angioplasty, coronary stents, and complex pacing devices.

Dr Leatham is Director and Founder of the Surrey Cardiovascular Clinic and, since 2019, Co-Founder and Managing Director of HeartScanDirect (https://www.heartscandirect.com/), one of the UK’s leading cardiac CT providers specialising in AI-processed scans and among the few cardiologist-led CT services in the country. He is the author of the weekly blog and podcast series The Naked Heart, and since 2021 has worked under his personal motto: “I used to stent, now I prevent.”
