About
Dr. Thomas was appointed as Consultant Cardiologist & Cardiac Electrophysiologist at the Bristol Heart Institute in 2009. He has a special interest in treating heart rhythm problems such as atrial fibrillation and performs several hundred ablation procedures per year. He practises a patient-centred approach, ensuring individuals needs are understood and anxieties accommodated, incorporating an understanding of patient's lifestyles into his treatment plan. He recognises the importance of non-pharmacological treatments such as diet and exercise. He has a wealth of experience in the cardiac aspects of Dysautonomia including Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and increasingly, the post-viral, multisystem disorder known as 'Long COVID'.
Dr. Thomas is a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology and has also written two books, Cardiology in Focus (Churchill Livingstone, 2004) and Ready Reference: Cardiology (Elsevier 2010). He has over 100 publications in scientific press specifically relating to the mechanisms and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, and is a regular contributor to popular media.
In addition to Cardiology, he has a special interest in Critical Care Medicine. He undertook further training in Anaesthesia/Paediatrics/Trauma and gained the Diploma in Immediate Medical Care, Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh in 2017. He is now a full-time Critical Care Doctor with Great Western Air Ambulance Charity, respoding to medical emergencies/accidents across the South West by helicopter or rapid response car. He also supports the life-saving work of the South West Ambulance Service in a voluntary capacity as an active responder for Bravo Medics charity.
