Professor Layland is both a nationally and internationally recognised cardiologist with a broad experience in all aspects of cardiology. He completed advanced cardiology training at St Vincents Hospital, Melbourne and the Prince Charles Hospital Brisbane. He then went on to complete a PhD through the University of Melbourne examining the role of the coronary microcirculation in patients with Ischaemic heart disease and was nominated for the University chancellors award for outstanding thesis. During this time he was also awarded the Geoff Mews fellow prize for interventional cardiology.
Following his PhD Jamie completed a post-doctoral interventional fellowship at the University of Glasgow/Golden Jubilee Hospital in Scotland where he continued his research examining coronary blood flow in patients with heart attacks. This was very productive leading to several important publications as well as providing Jamie with experience in coronary intervention at the UK’s highest volume centre for coronary intervention.
Returning to Australia in 2013, he was appointed a staff specialist in cardiology at Peninsula Health and a visiting medical officer at St Vincent’s Health. He is currently Director of Cardiovascular Research at Peninsula Health and an Adjunct Professor of medicine through Monash University. He has private appointments at Peninsula Private Hospital and Beleura Private Hospital.
Jamie has a clinical interest in all aspects of cardiology including the management of patients with chest pain (including microvascular disease and coronary vasospasm), the assessment of cardiovascular risk and the management of heart failure. He performs coronary angiography, coronary stenting, coronary physiology and intravascular imaging.
He is actively involved in research with participation in numerous national and international clinical trials. Jamie has over 100 publications and continues to be at the forefront of cardiology research.
