His NHS bases are East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust and Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust.
Dr Grosser, who was the first surgeon to successfully undertake the first primary angioplasty for an acute heart attack patient at the award-winning East Kent Hospitals University NHS Trust, has an impressive list of educational achievements. These include an MD and PhD from the Friedrich Alexander University, Erlangen, Germany. Here he completed a scientific research project in brain electro-physiology, followed by his doctorate.

He undertook cardiology speciality training in Maastricht in the Netherlands, under Professor Wellens who is considered one of the founders of clinical cardiac electrophysiology, and in Barnsley and Leeds where he worked as a cardiologist in the busiest UK centre for interventional cardiology. Furthermore, he completed an international fellowship at the renowned Petie Salpetriere Hospital in Paris. Here he trained under Professor Montalescot, who is a world-leading name in acute coronary syndromes/heart attacks.
Away from his clinical practice and achievements, Dr Grosser is also involved in leading cardiovascular clinical research.
