SUPPORT BRISTOL HEART INSTITUTE

 
The Bristol Heart Institute (BHI) was opened in 2009 as a centre of excellence for cardiology care for local people and specialised cardiothoracic care for patients across the South West. The BHI is one of the leading research centres for cardiovascular disease in the UK and works closely with the University of Bristol to find new treatments for improved patient outcomes and care.

The BHI building, designed by Bristol-based CODA Architects is award–winning, thanks to the innovative central open atrium, built to let in natural light and enhanced by artworks and indoor trees. This promotes patient well-being, creating an atmosphere of calm and healing in a space that feels less clinical than many hospitals.
