"A catheterisation laboratory provides cardiac and vascular angiography.
"There is also a 24-hour chest pain emergency clinic and a total cardiology service supported by specialist cardiologists, a five-bed coronary care unit and a cardiac ward.

It has an on-site radiology complex incorporating CAT scanning and nuclear medicine, a separate physiotherapy centre, an on-site pathology service and a visiting pharmacy service.
