From the onset of my heart attack at work the care I received from all medical practitioners was fantastic. The aftercare was unbeliveably great. Mr wilkinsons team should be very proud of the excellent work and care they give to patients and family at an emotional time. Thank you to all concerned who helped me on to my road to recovery. Long may Southampton general hospital care for adult and children's heart conditions.
With sincere thanks from myself and family.

I am very pleased with the service provided by Dr Wilkinson and his team of nurses and specialised staff. Not only am I delighted with the treatment I received relating to my long term heart issue but, as a result of the teams thoroughness and communication with other specialist teams, I was diagnosed with early stomach cancer which is now being effectively treated. Hooray, for all SGH medical staff.

Doctor Wilkinson is an excellent physician, I could not be more pleased with the level of care and consideration given towards me and my medical conditions. I would love to write paragraphs of recommendation for him, but unfortunately I am quite unwell and am tired very easily.
To end my submission needs only to say; that if there were more doctors with his skills in listening, explaining and offering practical solutions to ones health issues, then we would all have a very decent health service.

Everything about my procedure was explained clearly and in simple terms by Doctor Wilkinson prior to me being taken into the laboratory. Further helpful and calming comments were made to me throughout the procedure by the Doctor and his staff which I found extremely comforting under the stressful situation.
I have nothing but praise for the Hospital, Doctor Wilkinson and his staff. This is the sixth time I have undergone an angiogram and or angioplasty and the entire procedure seems to be more comfortable in every way each time.
Thank you for the excellent service....Trevor J Moir

Profile
Dr James Richard Wilkinson is a Consultant Interventional Cardiologist (heart specialist) based at Southampton and Lymington. He previously did procedure lists at Salisbury (2011-2014).
His particular area of expertise is Coronary Intervention. He regularly treats heart attack patients as well as more stable patients. This involves fixing the arteries that supply your heart with small balloons and metal scaffolds called 'stents'. He specialises in doing this through the artery in the wrist (radial artery) as it is safer and more comfortable for patients. He has a particular interest in opening arteries that have been blocked a long time (chronic total occlusions). He also has a specialist interest in a specialist procedure to treat high blood pressure (called renal denervation) and has set up this new service in Southampton. He also inserts pacemakers and does angiograms.
In addition to his procedure lists he also see's patients in clinic for evaluation of any symptoms that could be due to heart disease such as: breathlessness, chest pain, palpitations and blackouts. He is particularly interested in angina and new procedures to help this. He participates in a busy on-call rota for Southampton's heart attack service and does ward rounds. A majority of his work is NHS but he does see some patients privately at Southampton and Lymington. He participates in local research and education on a national level.
