Dr Simon Woldman graduated from the University of Glasgow in 1989. He was first appointed a consultant cardiologist at The Ayr Hospital, before joining UCLH in 2006. He is an expert in the management of heart failure and in particular advanced heart failure. The Heart Failure Team have developed an interest in those patients who have failed to respond to conventional therapy. Dr Woldman is the Director of Barts Heart Centre. He is a fellow of the European Society of Cardiology, the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Physicians and surgeons of Glasgow.
