VERIFIED PHYSICIAN PROFILE · UPDATED MAY 2026

Over

Dr Allan Harkness is a Consultant Cardiologist based in

Colchester seeing patients from across Essex and Suffolk. His main clinic is at

The Oaks Hospital in Colchester.

His practice covers the whole spectrum of adult cardiology

including chest pain, breathlessness, heart failure, high blood pressure,

murmurs, blackouts and palpitations. His comprehensive training in Glasgow and

London resulted in accreditation in both Cardiology and General Medicine. He

can therefore offer a more holistic review when considering problems relating

to your heart.

Dr Harkness has been a Consultant Cardiologist at Colchester

Hospital since 2006 and at the Essex Cardiothoracic Centre since it opened in

2007.

In 2010, he became the Clinical Lead for Cardiology at

Colchester Hospital. He led the introduction of many advances in cardiology

services, including valve clinics, heart failure services, MRI compatible

pacemakers, implantable loop recorders, stress echo, transoesophageal echo, 3D

echo and CT coronary angiography. He is accredited in echocardiography

(transthoracic and transoesophageal) with the British Society of

Echocardiography and in CT Angiography with the British Society of

Cardiovascular Imaging.

In 2017, Dr Harkness became the Divisional Director for

Medicine and Emergency Care at Colchester Hospital. He continued in this role

for two three-year terms of office, covering the merger with Ipswich Hospital and

the Pandemic. In 2023, he was appointed Deputy Associate Medical Director for

Patient Safety.

These lead roles have given him the perspective to

continually improve both his practice and the standards of care where he works.

This is reflected in his patient feedback.

Dr Harkness is an active member of the Education Committee

of the British Society of Echocardiography, contributing to guideline

development and training programmes. In 2019, in recognition of his

contribution to education, research, leadership, volunteering and national reputation,

he was awarded Fellowship of the British Society of Echocardiography. In 2021, in

recognition of his service and contribution to the advancement of

echocardiography, the society presented him with their 2021 Lifetime Achievement

Award.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
