Dr Yuk-ki Wong

My undergraduate training was at Manchester University and I graduated with MB ChB in 1990 having gained an intercalated BSc(Hons) in Physiology in 1987. After junior posts in the North West and obtaining MRCP, I started cardiology training including research in the Wessex Region during 1993 and was awarded my certificate of completion of specialist training (CSST) in cardiology and general medicine in 2002. I was elected FRCP in 2008.

I am a Consultant Cardiologist working for the University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust since 2003. I am based at St. Richard's Hospital, Chichester and am the clinical lead for Heart Failure and am also a General Cardiologist caring for patients with a wide range of conditions including coronary disease, arrhythmias, valvular heart disease and hypertension. My routine work includes cardiac catheterisation, implantation of permanent pacemakers and transoesophageal and transthoracic echocardiography. I helped developed CT coronary angiography at UH Sussex. I am also the lead for cardiology research with interests in heart failure, coronary disease, hyperlipidaemia and atrial fibrillation.
