Dr Butcher is the Consultant Cardiologist and heart rhythm specialist at the Advanced Cardiac Clinic.


He currently also works as the lead for arrhythmia services at Dorset County Hospital. He performs device implantations including pace makers, internal cardioverter defibrillators and cardiac resynchronisation therapy devices and ablations.
