Profile

ORCID iD: 0000-0003-1419-112X 

Adam Timmis graduated from Cambridge University and trained in cardiology at Massachussetts General and Guys Hospitals before taking up his present post. The rapid access chest pain clinic he pioneered changed UK practice by spawning a nationwide clinic network. He chaired NICE guideline groups on investigation of stable chest pain (2010) and management of angina (2011), was former Editor of Heart (2006-2013), is an executive member of the National Institute of Cardiovascular Outcomes Research (NICOR) and chairs the Academic Group of the Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Process (MINAP). He is now an executive member of the Farr Institute and the founding Editor-in-Chief of the European Society of Cardiology’s journal of Quality of Care and Clinical Outcomes.

Research

Professor Adam Timmis’ collaborative research group straddles 4 major institutions (QMUL, UCL, LSHTM, Bristol U) and was a finalist in the prestigious BMJ award for "outstanding achievement in evidence based healthcare" (2009). The group’s research, which focuses on healthcare delivery as it affects cardiovascular outcomes, is closely aligned with the NHS transparency and quality initiatives. It started with local cardiovascular data collections in East London and now utilises linked electronic health records held by the National Institute of CV Outcomes Research and the Farr Institute, providing a national perspective on the patient journey through a range of cardiovascular phenotypes.
