Manuja is a well trained and qualified cardiologist.
Following his general cardiology training he undertook an Echocardiography Fellowship at the Prince of Wales Hospital, one of Australia's busiest units. This was followed by a 2 year Advanced Cardiac Imaging Fellowship at Canada's largest cardiac program, the world renowned University of Ottawa Heart Institute, where he trained in Cardiac CT, MRI and nuclear cardiology (SPECT and PET). Manuja is one of only 10 Australian cardiologists to be granted the United States' board certification in Cardiac CT. He was invited to address the US Congress on his research on Appropriate Use Criteria in Cardiac Imaging. He has received awards from the American College of Cardiology and the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology including recognition in 2014 as one of the 10 top researchers in the USA and Canada in cardiac imaging. Manuja has co-authored book chapters, multiple papers in cardiac imaging, and is frequently invited as an expert peer reviewer for cardiac imaging scientific journals.
Since his return to Australia, Manuja has been practicing as a General Cardiologist and Cardiac Imaging Specialist. As the Head of Cardiac Imaging at Peninsula Health he has transformed the service into an internationally recognised centre of excellence. In 2018 the Siemens company joined Dr Premaratne as a luminary site partner in the next generation of Cardiac CT research which promises patients on the Mornington Peninsula and Victoria access to world first advances in Cardiac CT. He is a member of the scientific meeting planning committee for the world body responsible for Cardiac CT, The Society of Cardiac CT, and is their international liaison.
As a Fellow of the RACP Manuja is involved in teaching cardiology registrars, basic physician trainees, Monash University medical students, and is an examiner for both the RACP and Monash University medical school.
Manuja has a patient-centred approach and you can be confident that you will be thoroughly and well cared for.
