This page is aimed at GPs, paediatricians, cardiologists (adult and paediatric), and general physicians, who want to refer a patient to our ICC service. You can refer your patient if they have:
- symptoms suggestive of an inherited heart condition
- a family history of an inherited heart condition
- a confirmed diagnosis of an inherited heart condition
- a sudden death in a family suspected to be caused by an inherited heart condition
- cardiac screenings of individuals born with disorders or syndromes associated with cardiomyopathy or arrhythmia.
Referrals should be sent directly to the named consultant, or rbh-tr.ICC@nhs.net, after which they will be passed on to one of our listed consultants. They will then make a decision about which hospital (Royal Brompton or Harefield) and clinic the patient will be seen in.
If you need to discuss a referral you should call 020 7351 8103.
We are not part of the Choose and Book system so written referrals should be sent either to the ICC scheduler or a named consultant.
The postal address for referrals is:
