Dr Andrew Hill completed medicine at the
University of Sydney, graduating with second-class
honours in 1987. Cardiology training occurred at Prince
Henry Hospital in 1993 and1994. Extra training was done
in all aspects of cardiac ultrasound, culminating in a
Diploma of Diagnostic Ultrasound (DDU). Dr Andrew Hill
commenced employment at Gosford Hospital as a Staff
Specialist Cardiologist and established the
transoesophageal echocardiogram service in 1995.
Dr Hill was a founding proceduralist at Brisbane Waters
Private Hospital Cardiac Angiography Unit, established in
1996. Through to 2022 Dr Andrew Hill has (through
Central Coast facilities) completed over 4400
percutaneous coronary interventions, making Dr Hill the
longest established procedural cardiologist on the Central
Coast, NSW. Dr Hill also established the Cardiac
Angiography Unit at Gosford Hospital in 2002, requiring
political lobbying and training of nursing staff. Dr Andrew
Hill recruited additional cardiologists to support Coronary
Artery Interventions and Coronary Artery Angiograms
initially performed by himself from September 2002
onwards. This remains in place.
Dr Hill has ongoing interventional appointments at
Gosford Hospital and Gosford Private Hospital, including
a preference for radial artery approaches. This is
associated with quicker patient recovery and less
bleeding.
Apart from coronary angiography, coronary intervention,
stent insertion and transoesophageal echocardiography, Dr
Hill is a clinician, an educator for advanced trainees
through Gosford and Wyong Hospitals and remains
integrated with Central Coast Health, including ongoing
on-call duties at both Gosford and Wyong Hospitals.
Dr Hill, through the Jarrett Street Specialist Centre,
provides follow up and clinical review to outpatients and
arranges, as well as reviews, standard echocardiography
studies, Holter monitors and medical histories relating to
cardiology. Through his consulting rooms, prolonged
rhythm monitoring is performed, as well as organising
coronary angiograms, coronary intervention, cardiac
ultrasound, exercise stress testing and patient reviews.
