Preston, United Kingdom Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Are you self-motivated, well organised with excellent interpersonal skills. Do you have the ability to prioritise and use your own initiative, have a flexible attitude and the willingness to travel between sites? Then this is the role for you.

We currently have an outstanding opportunity for a highly motivated Echocardiographer to join our dedicated and friendly team at the Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The Trust is based across two sites, Preston and Chorley Hospitals and this post will include work within the brand new Preston Community Diagnostic Hub.

Continuous professional development is strongly encouraged at this Trust and you will have excellent opportunities to develop further your skills and knowledge.

You must have proven post-registration experience with a BSc (Hons) Degree qualification in Cardiology or equivalent. You should have extensive experience as a senior cardiac physiologist and must have RCCP and BSE Accreditation.

You will be responsible for assisting in the day-to-day running of the service, and perform the wide range of investigations. We are also hoping to extend our services with the permanent additions of stress, 3D imaging and tissue Doppler. This is a new post created to support the increasing demand outlined above and the proposed plans for our echocardiogram services.

You must be able to perform, and be willing to undertake, the challenge of developing these services further with appropriate training and development.

We perform both invasive and non invasive studies within the Trust performing 16,000 transthoracic, 200 Transoesophageal and 90 contrast and bubble studies per annum. We also have an Open Access Heart Failure Service for our local GPs, established in 2002, performing 800 studies last year. The Trust is also a tertiary centre for nephrology, neurosurgery and cancer services where our echocardiography service is utilised prior to and post treatment for patients.

We have five Consultant Cardiologists and currently serve a population of 390,000. We are a teaching hospital and actively participate in the training of SpR’s and Registrars.

Working with us gives you the knowledge and sense of pride that every activity you do genuinely does make a difference to support our patients & staff, ensuring we keep thriving & delivering outstanding healthcare right across our local towns.

You’ll have access to varied development opportunities, learn new skills, meet fab people & do things you’d never have done. You’ll learn about working in a hospital, interacting with people from all different roles to build skills & enhance your career path.

You’ll make an impact, be challenged to think differently, be bold & help innovate to keep improving things. Everything we do centres around patient care which means your role is pivotal and something really to be proud of.
