The Cardiology department at the Royal Berkshire Hospital has an outstanding reputation and a proud record of achievement. We achieved University department status in 2020 and have successfully achieved re-accreditation this summer. This was granted by the Health Innovation Partnership who offers a programme for collaborative research and education innovation funding recognising clinical, teaching and research excellence. As a department we continue to invest in our service and staff. This includes a current project to improve the space in the department to provide a more relaxed and spacious area for the team to enjoy their breaks. We are also investing in new equipment (ECHO machines) and ISCV reporting system to improve service delivery and ensure our staff have access to the best possible technology to enhance the quality of care delivered to our patients.

We are committed to continued professional development, training and support for all our staff. As a member of the team, the successful applicant would have access to:
Weekly team huddles (where we discuss immediate concerns and recent successes) and monthly team meetings (for training and general team support)

Further training and development opportunities relevant to your personal development i.e. staff have completed Chartered Business Management Degree at Henley Business School or CMI Level 3 Certificate in Principles of Leadership and Management

Coaching and mentoring within the Royal Berkshire Hospital (internal programme)

Charity funding for further courses or training (individual basis)

Flexible working - 4 day working with a fix day off per week and the opportunity for additional work at highly competitive rates.

Access to the Trust Health & Wellbeing Centre providing facilities for therapies (yoga, massage, reflexology), financial support, mental health support and many other support packages available to all staff.

Visits to the department are greatly welcomed and encouraged. Please contact Cardiac Physiology Service Manager-Usha Mistry (0118 3225541) for more information or to arrange a visit.
