The Duke of Edinburgh has been transferred to a hospital which is a centre of excellence for cardiac care.
Prince Philip has been in hospital since February 16 when he was admitted with an infection.
Buckingham Palace has said it is not related to coronavirus. He was at King Edward VII’s hospital until Monday morning, when we was transferred to St Bartholomew's.
St Bartholomew’s Hospital, part of Barts Health NHS Trust, is in the City of London close to St Paul’s Cathedral, and is Britain’s oldest hospital.
Barts Heart Centre, based in the hospital’s state-of-the-art King George V building, is Europe’s largest specialised cardiovascular centre, according to the NHS website.
It has 10 theatres, 10 cath labs and more than 300 general, cardiac and critical care beds.
The NHS said the centre aspires to perform more heart surgery, MRI and CT scans than any other service in the world.
A specialist heart attack centre delivers dedicated emergency care 24 hours a day, with rapid access to a team with specialist expertise and equipment.
In January 2020 the service was rated number one for cardiac arrest survival rates in London, according to the NHS website.
The website says St Bartholomew’s is Britain’s oldest hospital, set to celebrate its 900th birthday in 2023.
