Professional statement
Dr Malcolm Burgess is an experienced and accredited consultant cardiologist who provides a highly personalised service for patients with known or suspected heart disease. His range of expertise covers all aspects of diagnosing and managing common cardiological conditions, and this includes providing invasive and non-invasive treatments for his patients. His specialist interest is cardiac ultrasound (echocardiography) which is integral to the assessment of most types of heart disease. Dr Burgess sees patients with a wide range of presenting complaints including but not restricted to heart palpitations, valvular heart disease, angina and chest pain, high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure.
Dr Burgess completed his medical training at the Univerity of Dundee in 1993 and pursued his cardiology career from 1996 onwards. This training involved an MD thesis on echocardiography and a Post-doctoral Research Fellowship at the University of Queensland, Australia, where he undertook advanced training in echocardiographic techniques presenting his work at international meetings. Whilst serving as a consultant in the NHS since 2007 Dr Burgess has made a major contribution to echocardiography locally and further afield including the development of services for patients with specialist conditions.
Consultations for private patients are provided by Dr Burgess at the Sefton Suite Private Patient Unit located at Aintree Hospital (where he is also a consultant for the NHS) and in Crosby. He also sees private patients at the Pall Mall Medical Liverpool and Newton-le-Willows clinics.
When not treating patients Dr Burgess dedicates his time to other contributions in the field of cardiology. He is an Honorary Lecturer at the University of Liverpool. He participates in the development of junior doctors and future cardiologists by organising teaching programs and conducting examinations at a local and national level. Furthermore, he undertakes research into various topics within the field of cardiovascular disease, particularly echocardiography. This work has resulted in over 50 published articles in peer-reviewed journals.
