Dr Richard Jabbour
Consultant Cardiologist
MBBS, BSc, MSc, PhD
I am a highly experienced Consultant Interventional Cardiologist with extensive knowledge in coronary and structural interventions, including transcatheter aortic valve implantation. I received my medical degree from Imperial College London and completed my training in renowned hospitals in London, including Imperial College Healthcare Trust, St Bartholomew’s Hospital, Royal Brompton, and Harefield Hospital.
I was also awarded an international fellowship at the world-renowned San Raffaele Hospital in Milan, Italy, where I gained advanced training in interventional cardiology techniques. I hold a PhD from the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial College London, which focused on creating engineered heart tissue from induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes, leading to numerous awards and accolades.
My NHS base is at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, which is recognised as one of the UK's largest tertiary centres for cardiovascular disease treatment. Additionally, I am an Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer at the National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London.
My research background is strong, with over 120 peer-reviewed publications and more than 15 regional, national, and international awards. My research work has significantly influenced major international cardiology guidelines and I am regularly invited to participate as faculty in national and international conferences.
Due to my extensive experience, I have acted as a Specialist Committee Member for the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) and am currently co-lead for the British Cardiovascular Interventional Society Research and Development Working Group (Literature Reviews). My clinical expertise and research experience make me a sought-after interventional cardiologist.
