In October 2009, the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust hired Dr. Carol Whelan as a consultant cardiologist with expertise in imaging, heart failure, and cardiac amyloidosis. As a result of her efforts at the National Amyloidosis Centre, she has been given the title of Honorary Associate Professor at UCL. In 2011, she was named the hospital's clinical lead for heart failure. In 2018, she was designated as the Trust's lead for the Heart Failure Clinical Pathways Group's work. Dr. Whelan was chosen to serve as a councilor on the British Society for Heart Failure's board in November 2019. She also wrote the chapter on cardiac amyloidosis in the most recent Oxford Textbook of Heart Failure.
Dr Whelan is interested in echocardiography, including stress echocardiography and transesophageal echocardiography, as well as cardiac amyloidosis.
