Dr Bhatia obtained an MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) at the Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital Medical School, London, in 1994, and has gained up to 15 years' worth of formal training in general medicine and cardiology at highly-renowned London-based teaching hospitals.

In relation to Dr Bhatia's mission statement, he affirms that he is proud to mainly practice in the NHS, but over the years he has grown to appreciate the constraints on consultation and waiting times for many tests and procedures. Dr Bhatia stresses and recognises that this is not always best suited for many patients who need more time for a doctor to listen to their medically related issues, with greater in-depth discussion and explanation about why and how adult cardiologists carry out cardiac investigations in order to provide either an explanation (diagnosis) for patients' symptoms, or at the very least, reassurance and peace of mind.
