Together with the Golden Jubilee Hospital, UHH provides an Optimal Reperfusion Service for heart attack patients in the West of Scotland. UHH is currently the busiest centre in Scotland that provides this service, which is also known as Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PPCI).
He graduated from the University of Edinburgh with MBChB and an Honours Degree in Biochemistry. He completed seven years of cardiology training at world renowned Papworth Hospital, Cambridge, which is the biggest cardiothoracic transplant centre in the UK. During his training in Interventional Cardiology, he undertook a Fellowship at one of Europe’s most prestigious cardiac centres, the Herzzentrum (Heart Centre) in Leipzig, Germany.

In addition to cardiology subspecialties, Dr MacDougall has an interest in lipidology, for which he is the Lead Clinician in South Lanarkshire. His service offers genetic testing for Familial Hypercholesterolaemia, a condition that can result in premature coronary artery disease, heart attacks and reduced life expectancy.
