Sjouke Ashton-Clarkson joins Kent and London Cardiology
In a fantastic development for heart failure patients in East Kent, the county’s senior heart failure specialist nurse has opened a private clinic with Kent and London Cardiology.
Sjouke Ashton-Clarkson has pioneered and led an extremely successful NHS service caring for heart failure patients in Ashford, Canterbury and Margate for over 15 years. She brings a wealth of experience to our team and we are thrilled to support her in this exciting phase of her career.
Sjouke will see patients at ONE Ashford Hospital in Ashford, Kent, focussing on introduction and rapid titration of medications to stabilise patients with a recent diagnosis of heart failure, or for whom achieving stability has proved a problem.
This new clinic is aimed at patients who already have a diagnosis of heart failure and all self-referrals are pre-screened for suitability. Learn more and enquire about a booking.
If you are concerned that you may have heart failure but you don’t yet have a diagnosis, you may want to speak with one of our consultant cardiologists, Dr Idris Harding and Dr Suzan Hatipoglu. If heart failure is confirmed then our consultants can discuss the benefits of a referral to Sjouke’s clinic with you.
