As a Cardiac Investigations department in a tertiary centre we provide a full range of non-invasive and invasive procedures. Investigations include transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography, ambulatory monitoring, ECGs, device follow up, exercise tolerance tests, and tilt tests.

These services are offered at University Hospital in Coventry, St Cross Hospital in Rugby and the Diagnostic Hub, based in the City of Coventry Healthcare Centre.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated and enthusiastic Department of Cardiac Investigations (DCI) Assistant to join our friendly, energetic team, to support the delivery of high quality cardiology services across all sites. The DCI Assistant will work under close supervision of either a Cardiac Physiologist and/or Cardiographer. Your main duties will include preparation of the patient for the test, providing instructions, stock control and general housekeeping duties for the Department of Cardiac Investigations.
