About Dr Howard Marshall

Dr. Howard Marshall is a Consultant Cardiologist specialising in cardiac rhythm disorders. He qualified in 1988 with an MBChB from the University of Leeds and went on to earn his MD from the University of Birmingham, where his research focused on atrioventricular node ablation and pacing in the treatment of atrial fibrillation. He became a Member of the Royal College of Physicians in 1992.

Appointed as a Consultant at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in 2000, Dr. Marshall has played a leading role in developing advanced cardiac services. He established the hospital’s pacing and defibrillator service, which has grown to become the largest in the region. In collaboration with Dr. Mike Griffith, he has also expanded the ablation service, creating one of the UK’s largest centres for atrial fibrillation ablation and hosting several international live training courses.

Dr. Marshall’s clinical practice includes catheter ablation for all types of tachycardia, as well as cardiac catheterisation, angioplasty, and stent placement. He currently practises at The Harborne Hospital, The Droitwich Spa Hospital, and The Priory Hospital.

In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Marshall is actively involved in publishing research in cardiac electrophysiology. Outside medicine, he enjoys classical music, fell walking, and scuba diving.

Very prompt with a thorough consultation outlining his diagnosis and a very tactful note to loose some weight!! That in itself was worth the visit.

I have been seeing Dr Marshall for many many years for my ongoing condition and I have always found him to be informative, pragmatic and most importantly listening to what I am saying and feeling about my treatment. I can't recommend Dr Marshall highly enough.

I look forward to seeing Dr. Marshall for my pacemaker monitoring. He listens carefully to any concerns I have and very patiently answers my questions to put my mind at rest. During the consultation, Dr. Marshall is thorough and explains everything he is doing, the monitoring tests and the results. He has a professional and reassuring manner. Five years ago I left the Solihull/Birmingham area but rather than look for a new Consultant in the Wiltshire area, I chose to remain in the care of Dr. Marshall and travel back to Birmingham to see him. This, I believe, speaks for itself.

I recently had a heart ablation under the care of Dr Marshall. I have had a lot of anxiety in the past concerning hospital visits elsewhere and Drs appointments. Each time I have had an appointment with Dr Marshall and the care I've received pre procedure and afterwards I have felt very much at ease and felt I was in safe hands. Everything was explained to me and I've found Dr Marshall extremely easy to talk to. I have found it immensly helpful to be able to speak to Michelle Peart if I do have any questions and she has always spoke in a friendly, caring and helpful manner.
