How to find an EP in your Area

1. heartrhythmspecialists.org/... - this is world wide but not every EP is registered as voluntary registration.

2. Enlist for the AA education/patient days, look at the training videos and collect names.

3. Use an online Private Insurer Search - the better known insurer’s will have good information and have good search engines which you can access without being a member.

4. Go to the website of you nearest hospital or Centre of Excellence for Arrythmia - usually found in major regional cities.

5. Post and ask for recommendations for your area.

Hope that helps

This is a little bit tricky but you can drill in to reports for your hospital and in that report are results for operator level (ie the EPs)

nicor.org.uk/national-cardi...

From this page you need to scroll down and choose your area, then choose your hospital, then chose report type (Ablation), scroll down the report to Operator level results to see names.

Not straightforward but see how you get on

Not all hospitals have Ablation reports and I guess these hospitals don’t have EPs

Best wishes

The first link gives 3 boxes to enter details of a search for an expert in your area, but no way to actually start this search.🤔 Am I missing something?

No, nothing "automatically updates" when I complete those 3 fields.🤔 And there is no "list" at any stage!

Oh well, I just tried again, and still nothing. Perhaps it filters out those members being "followed" by Admin.🤔🤕😆

Click on Select Specialty but don’t type, it should give you a drop down list to choose from, some devices might show that lower down the screen. I chose Ablation. Leave the Keyword box. Type a valid post code in the third box including a space (AB12 3CD), there is no search button, it just updates on screen.

That all works for me but the specialist names are not up to date in my experience as has been the case previously when I’ve tried it. For my area, one of the consultants retired years ago and the one I’m under is not there.

Yes, not sure I needed an explanation about how to complete 3 simple questions🤔, but perhaps I did. Damn it!

It seems that you have stumbled on the unexpected solution to my difficulty! I can report I have now seen the light/list!

It was your words Leave the Keyword box that found the solution for me. I then discovered that my perfectly reasonable idea to consistently enter "pulsed field" into the requested keyword section was what "did for" both me and the search engine. Obviously I need lessons now in form filling and how not to be so fastidious!🤔🤕😄

And thank heavens I don't yet need to find an EP!

I was joking as ozziebob said he was being followed by the admins. 😁
