Woodlands Hospital provides specialized Impella with a focus on temporary mechanical circulatory support, advanced cardiac monitoring, and individualized treatment planning. Established in 2001, the accredited hospital is located in Darlington, United Kingdom and operates 38 beds with modern interventional cardiology and cardiac critical-care facilities.

Impella is a temporary mechanical circulatory support system that uses a small catheter-mounted pump to assist the heart in moving blood from the left ventricle into the aorta. It may be used in selected patients experiencing cardiogenic shock or during certain high-risk coronary interventions where additional circulatory support is needed. The device is inserted through a blood vessel and positioned inside the heart under imaging guidance. Patients require close monitoring while the device is in place.
