The COVID-19 pandemic has made us work in a different way to ensure excellent patient care. This includes multidisciplinary team meetings.
South London JCCs
We have now launched our daily (5 day) virtual South London joint cardiology-cardiac (JCC) service hosted by St Thomas’, King’s College and St George’s hospitals.
Held Monday through Friday at 8am on Microsoft Teams, the JCCs provide all referring clinicians with an open forum to discuss patient cases and obtain an immediate outcome.
All 8:00 – 9:00am. Please use the linked email addresses to refer patients to one of these centres for a JCC discussion.

Patient cases may be presented at any session, regardless of host. The patient will be transferred to the preferred trust for procedure, where required.
Our virtual network JCCs improve quality, optimise clinical time, and ensure that our patients receive fast, equitable access to specialist cardiac decision making and care. We welcome all clinical colleagues to participate (South London, Kent, Surrey, and Sussex).
Specialty MDTs
New daily multidisciplinary meetings have been established for cardiac and cardiology referrals across the region (south London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex). Open to all clinicians, they provide a rapid, welcoming forum for clinicians to discuss and decide clinical cases.
Specialist care is then shared across the three south London tertiary sites – for safe, rapid care from required specialist teams.
