Independent Cardiologist
"Your Heart to Heart Doctor" - wherever you are
You are offered a personal service at selected private hospitals in England and Scotland. Innovative services are provided including management of Long Term Conditions
(LTC) using
Telehealth and
Telemedicine. In addition to clinical services, there are facilities to participate in clinical studies, randomised control trials (
RCTs) and socioeconomic studies.
Dr. Forbat has extensive cardiology experience as a consultant cardiologist, with a broad background both in the NHS and the private sector. He has experience in developing and providing cardiology services at several hospitals in the UK. He has brought new cardiology services to several other cardiac units and led three departments.
Services:
- excercise testing (treadmill test)
- echocardiography including transoesophageal echo (TOE)
- stress echo
- mobile echo service
- pacing
- angiography
- telemedicine
- home clinics
He has experience in managing all aspects of adult cardiology including:
- angina
- heart failure
- murmurs
- cardiomyopathy
- palpitation and dizzyness
- arrhythmias
- hypertension
- hyperlipidaemia
In addition to telemedicine, he offers innovative cardiology services using new technologies. Telemedicine enables him to monitor patients at home. He also arranges home visits with ECG and ECHO if required, providing continuity of care and true “patient choice” to families and businesses in the UK.
Dr. Forbat is now working exclusively as a private consultant cardiologist. He can therefore see patients outside his scheduled clinic times on request at clinics in Bristol, London and Glasgow.

Why the NHS must embrace telehealth on a larger scale
More certainty- telehealth has indeed landed on it's feet!
At last there is some clarity:
Cardiovascular disease
For cardiovascular diseases, the
researchers studied the cost effectiveness of prevention (exercise),
point-of-care diagnostics and telemonitoring in the UK, Belgium and
Germany. Results showed that by using all three approaches overall costs
were reduced by 46%, resulting in:
- 15% reduction in referrals to A&E;
- 59% fall in angioplasty;
- 17% reduction in bypass surgery;
- 14% drop in the use of medicines; and
- 13% reduction in the use of rehabilitation services.
Additionally,
enabling the patients to be responsible for monitoring their own vital
signs (such as blood pressure and temperature) and sending them into a
central nursing unit electronically, resulted in patient adherence to
prescribed treatment increasing from 30% to 92%.
The clever part is how you design changes in the delivery of care that will reproduce the changes on which this modelling is based. This is possible but needs commitment from champions at local levels and development from the bottom up, with guidelines and funding both from central government and private sources. The lessons how not to implement a large IT project a well known in the UK, avoid implementation from the top down approach without 'stakeholder' input at the outset.
'Heart2Heart" Doctor
"Early evidence from a trial in Kent, Cornwall and the London Borough of Newham indicates a 45% reduction in mortality - equating to 120 people still being alive who would otherwise have died.
There were also significant reductions in emergency admissions (down 21%), planned hospital admissions (down 24%), visits to A&E (15%), days in hospital (14%) and "tariff" costs for treatment (8%).
The trial involved 6,191 people in 238 GP practices and was the largest of its kind in the world so far. It focused on the long-term conditions diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and coronary heart disease."
