Introducing Dr Guy Furniss, Consultant Cardiologist, and lead for cardiac rhythm management at Somerset NHS Foundation Trust.

Dr Furniss trained in Leicester and undertook specialist training on the Peninsula rotation. In 2013/14 he undertook a fellowship in cardiac electrophysiology and devices in Wellington, New Zealand. He has published research on Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICD’s), pacemaker implantation techniques and atrial fibrillation. He is a certified European Cardiac Device Specialist by the European Society of Cardiology.

Dr Furniss has been a Consultant in Somerset for over 8 years and specialises in heart rhythm management, heart failure and inherited cardiac conditions. He has been one of the highest volume implanters of pacemakers, ICD’s and Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRT) devices in the UK over the past few years. He leads the cardiac devices service in Somerset and has introduced new pacing techniques such as physiological pacing to the trust.

Dr Furniss is the cardiology clinical lead for 3rs and 5th year Plymouth University students at Musgrove Park Hospital and initiated a postgraduate research program in 2021. This involves one current PhD student and one MD student.

If you have trouble with your sleep, you are not alone: sleep problems are common and have a devastating impact. Whether the problem started months or years ago, not being able to sleep can make you feel powerless, and leave you at your wit’s end, especially if you feel you’ve tried everything. However, rest assured, you are not powerless: with the right help, Dr Tham believes anyone can achieve a good night’s sleep.

Dr Tham developed an interest in neuroscience as an undergraduate at Cambridge University, focussing on sleep and insomnia whilst training to be a GP at St Thomas’ Hospital. Since then, he has worked with some of the country’s leading experts in this field, including those at the Sleep and Circadian Neurosciences Institute at the University of Oxford.

Dr Tham has a collaborative and flexible approach, through which his clients achieve a better understanding of sleep, the factors that disrupt it, and the powerful cognitive and behavioural tools that can fix it.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you require any further information.
