About
Dr Fynn was appointed as a Consultant Cardiologist at Papworth Hospital, Cambridge in 2004. His specialty interest is in the management of heart rhythm disorders, performing over 200 catheter ablations for cardiac arrhythmias each year. His clinical work also involves the implantation of cardiac devices, including pacemakers and implantable cardiac defibrillators. He is very proud of his clinical results and the feedback he receives both from patients and colleagues. In 2013 Dr Fynn was awarded a National Clinical Excellence Award for his work.
Between 2006 and 2012 Dr Fynn was the Clinical Lead for the Cardiac Rhythm Management service at Papworth, which is one of the largest such services in the UK. In January 2012 he became the Clinical Director for the Cardiology Department at the hospital. This is a challenging role the hospital plans to relocate to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus in 2018.
Although he continues to enjoy balancing this role with his teaching and research commitments, providing excellence in the clinical care of his patients remains his priority.
