Our Background and Vision
Home  ›  Our Background and Vision
The roots of the Heart Care Partners extends back 20 years  to 1988 when Dr. Geoff Holt commenced practice at the Wesley Hospital. The fledgling group started in the early 1990s when Dr. David Cross joined Geoff at the Wesley followed by Dr. Greg Scalia and Dr. Stephen Cox in 1997. We have been growing ever since.

Early in this growth Geoff had a vision that medicine would change in Australia like it had in the USA. He believed that it is critical for the preservation of patient care that doctors determine the health care agenda and that large group practice is the way to maintain stability and patient focussed care. As a result the group has continued to expand to meet the needs of referring doctors. We officially became the Heart Care Partners in 2005. Our practice now includes:


Our organisation has over 50 qualified staff in 6 locations, including 4 Non Invasive clinics across metropolitan Brisbane (Wesley, Greenslopes Private, Clayfield and Mt. Ommaney) and our doctors visit 13 regional clinics.

Our Vision is to be the Benchmark in Cardiac Care. We are working tirelessly to improve services to our patients through a number of initiatives. Our Doctors are extensively trained – at the best Australian and Overseas centers. Our information technology systems and software were purpose built to ensure  that we can offer our referrering doctors and patients the best access to reporting and appointments. Additionally, we are commencing a number of clinical and practice quality initiatives that will pioneer the field of Cardiology service provision.

We have now hosted three annual cardiology conferences for our referrers and have our forth coming up in early 2010.

We hope this website assists you in patient care and invite you to contribute to the development of this site by offering any suggestions on format or content to: info@wesheart.com.au
