About
Dr Barakat is a Consultant Cardiologist with an honorary contract at the Barts Heart Centre and is Senior Lecturer at Queen Mary, University of London. His private practice is based at the Bridge clinic in Maidenhead, Princess Margaret Hospital in Windsor and Spire Thames Valley Hospital in Slough. He sees patients with symptoms of heart disease – namely shortness of breath, chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, blackouts, and ankle swelling. He provides a comprehensive local cardiology diagnostic service for patients living within East Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and surrounding areas.
Dr Barakat grew up locally and attended Slough Grammar School before studying medicine at Trinity College, Oxford and completed his undergraduate training at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospitals in 1991. He was trained in general cardiology and interventional cardiology at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, The London Chest Hospital and the Royal London Hospital. He was awarded an MD in coronary artery disease from the University of London in 2001.
His first clinical appointment as a Consultant Cardiologist was at Wexham Park Hospital in 2004. He was part of the team that helped to repatriate invasive and interventional cardiology from London to Wexham Park Hospital. After completing a postgraduate certificate in medical simulation, he moved to the Barts Heart Centre as Director of Cardiovascular Simulation. He actively trains Specialist Registrars in procedural skills in cardiology. He uses simulation-based training to train them in a range of procedures including pericardiocentesis, permanent pacemaker implantation, temporary wire implantation, coronary angiography, and coronary angioplasty.
Dr Barakat provides a comprehensive local cardiology diagnostic service for patients across East Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and surrounding areas. The service is fully registered with the Care Quality Commission, reflecting high standards of governance and patient safety, and maintains consistently high patient satisfaction ratings on Google.
