Dr. Abdullah Mohammed is a Consultant Cardiologist who completed his medical qualification at the University of Glasgow. During training, he undertook more focused subspecialty training in echocardiography and cardiac imaging. He completed the Mersey Deanery Training Programme in Cardiology and General Medicine.

Throughout his career, Dr. Mohammed has gained wide experience in medicine and cardiology whilst working at some of the UK's largest teaching hospitals and cardiology institutions in Glasgow, Staffordshire, Manchester, Liverpool, and Sheffield.

He has extensive experience with cardiac conditions such as angina, heart failure, valve heart disease, and atrial fibrillation. He is also experienced in cardiac risk assessment prior to non-cardiac surgery, and ‘Healthy Heart’ checks up for cardiovascular disease screening and primary prevention advice.

In addition to general cardiology, he is particularly proactive in invasive cardiology, alongside his special interest in advanced cardiac imaging techniques and their role in selecting the most appropriate and evidence-based medical or surgical treatment.

Dr. David Fox is a consultant cardiologist and electrophysiologist specialising in the management and treatment of Atrial Fibrillation and all heart rhythm disorders.

Each year he performs an high volume of catheter ablation procedures and he is one of the UK’s most active doctors in the field.

His results are audited annually and demonstrate high success rates with a low complication rates

He was the top medical student at the University of Dundee, having won numerous prizes. He was one of the only 4 students out of 140 that graduated with honours degree and the only student of his year to also have a first class honours degree of Medical Sciences in Pharmacology. He worked in some of the major hospitals around Manchester and trained in Cardiology at the North Western Deanery. During his fellowship at the University of Western Ontario, Canada, he became an expert in cardiac pacing and the latest ablation techniques especially for atrial fibrillation. He trained under the supervision of Professor George J Klein, a leading name in the field. Dr. Fox’s great interest in atrial fibrillation ablation is reflected onto his research work as he has published several very influential papers on the topic.

He was appointed Consultant Cardiologist at the University Hospital of South Manchester in 2008, where he is the lead clinician of the open access atrial fibrillation clinic and the rapid access palpitation clinic.

I was brought up in Wimbledon in South West London and educated in a mix of state and independent schools. At 18, I left home and took a year out working initially as a porter at the Atkinson Morley Hospital in Wimbledon, then 4 months teaching English to children in Kathmandu, Nepal followed by 4 months of travelling around the world.

Having successfully secured a place at St John’s College Cambridge, I then spent my next 6 years in Cambridge where I successfully achieve a 2:1 in medicine and subsequently qualified as a doctor at Addenbrookes Medical School. During my time in Cambridge I rowed for Lady Margaret Boat Club, rowing in the first crew including at 2 Henley Regattas. I stayed on in the Cambridge area to complete my preregistration “house jobs” before moving down to Southampton to complete 2 years of general medical training as a Senior House Officer. I experienced a number of medical specialities before realising my ambition to be a Cardiologist and from there headed back to Cambridge and Papworth Hospital to undertake research into chronic angina and the technique of laser revascularisation of the heart. From here, I headed
North to Manchester where I have lived ever since, completing 6 years of specialist training and subsequently securing my NHS Consultant post at Pennine Acute Hospitals Trust.

As a new Consultant I quickly became Cardiac Catheter Lab Clinical Lead, and took on the task of fully equiping our catheter laboratory with all the the necessary equipment to investigate and treat all patients requiring coronary artery angiography and stenting. This includes the procurement of Pressure wire (FFR) assessment, and coronary imaging techniques of Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). I was the sole operator qualified for the use of rotational atherectomy (coronary rotablation) to treat heavily calcified coronary arteries and remain one of the highest volume operators in Manchester. I also started the local CTO programme, working with local proctors to teach the highly specialised techniques required to re-open completely blocked coronary arteries - tradionally only treated by open heart surgery.

As well as treating coronary artery disease, I also am happy to investigate and treat all other cardiology complaints. Privately and also through my NHS practice I see all types of cardiology conditions, and in particular breathless and heart failure, palpitations including SVTs and atrial fibrillation, hypertension and cholesterol management.

Currently I am Interim Medical Director for Bury Care Organisation but enjoy my clinical work and interactions with patients so continue to participate in all aspects of Cardiology both on the NHS and through private practise. I enjoy practising what I believe to be the highest quality, patient centric clinical care.

Outside of work, I am a fanatical cyclist, enjoy snowboarding, sailing, windsurfing and the great outdoors.
