The arrhythmia nurses work with patients who have arrhythmias
(abnormal heart rhythms) or who are at risk of having arrhythmias.
We are based in the Bristol Heart Institute and work Mondays
to Fridays, excluding bank holidays. We work closely with the
electrophysiology team of Consultants, physiologists and nursing
staff in order to provide expert advice and information to
patients on their condition, the management of that condition and
the options for treatment. We run a number of nurse-led
diagnostic and follow-up clinics and regular pre-operative
assessment clinics for those undergoing procedures. In addition, we
run a busy telephone advice and support telephone line for current
patients.
Arrhythmias Hotline for current patients - this is not an
emergency helpline: 0117 3426635 or email

Arrhythmia Outreach Nurses

The Arrhythmia Outreach Service provides early clinical
assessment for patients admitted to the BRI through the Emergency
Department, Acute Medical Unit, GP Support Unit and Older Peoples'
Assessment Unit who have, or are at risk of, arrhythmias. We work
very closely with our multidisciplinary team colleagues and as a
result patients have streamlined access to the arrhythmia services
within the BHI. If admission to hospital is necessary, we aim to
ensure patients are cared for in the most appropriate clinical
setting.
We offer specialist advice and support, provide early follow-up
in our outpatient clinics and refer for further investigations and
treatment if required.

Before invasive testing or investigations you will be
expected to attend for pre-operative assessment. At this time you
will undergo routine observations, blood tests and other simple
investigations. Our pre-operative nurses will explain your planned
procedure and answer any questions you may have.
