Our mission is to be the UK's leading specialist centre for heart and lung disease. We will achieve this mission through a strategy of focused growth in aspects of heart and lung treatment, such as congenital heart disease, arrhythmia, heart failure and advanced lung diseases. Our approach is based on:

• The continual development of leading-edge services through clinical refinement and research
• The effective and efficient delivery of core specialist treatment
• The transition of appropriate routine services to other centres to release capacity for new interventions
Remaining an autonomous specialist organisation is central to preserving and building our strong clinical and organisational record. However, we are equally convinced of the importance of effective partnerships particularly with major academic bodies to ensure a continuing pipeline of innovations to develop future treatments. We strive to recruit and retain the best staff as the dedication and skills of our employees lie at the heart of our organisation and ensure that our services are of the highest quality, safe and focused on our patients.
