1 week ago


Northampton, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom Northampton General Hospital Full time

Job summary

The successful candidates should be trained and proficient in all areas of heart failure and additional subspecialty interests that would complement the current departmental requirements and skill sets will be actively encouraged and supported.

This is a new post for a consultant cardiologist with specific interest in heart failure. The successful applicants will join 10 other consultant cardiologists in this significant service expansion and will be expected to further develop cardiology services and specifically Heart Failure services in Northampton General Hospital, collaborate in delivering a county cardiology service with Kettering General Hospital and with Primary care.

The successful applicants should have extensive general cardiology skills in order to participate in the general cardiology on call rota, which is a specialty cardiac take as cardiology is no longer part of the general medical take. This runs alongside the urgent care pathway which includes a new build of an Acute Medical Assessment unit in 2017. The on-call rota is currently 1:7 at the NGH site, on site from hrs daily, reviewing patients throughout the day as referred to expediate treatment and on-call for emergencies overnight from home (within 30 minutes). There is also a cardiology ward rota for Monday to Friday daytime cover, separate from the take.

This JD is pending RCP approval

Interview date TBC

Main duties of the job

The appointed candidates will join the existing cardiologists in providing comprehensive care to patients requiring specialist input. The ethos of the team is to share the workload and there will be an opportunity for the successful candidates to pursue areas of interest and research. They will lead ward rounds, out-patient clinics, specialist heart failure and optimisation clinics, participate in the general cardiology on-call rota and participate in multi-disciplinary and mortality and morbidity meetings.

The post holders will also be contracted with Kettering General Hospital as we are now in a collaborative with a patient population of circa 800,00. There will be significant design and implementation of a new service as a centre of excellence and is likely to require cross site working.

Please see attached JD for further information.
