The Every Heart Matters appeal needs to raise £500,000 to support the build of a new cardiac diagnostic unit alongside the cardiac suite, to create a fully integrated cardiac centre that will enhance the treatment of all cardiac patients.

The Trust is hoping to transform and improve the care cardiology patients will receive.
