Watford, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust Full time

Position Overview

We invite qualified candidates to consider a role within our esteemed Cardiology department at West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. The selected individual will be engaged in the Acute Assessment Unit and associated wards, with a focus on heart failure and diagnostic imaging. Collaboration with our dedicated team of specialist nurses and fellow consultants is essential, as is support for our subspecialty divisions.

Key Responsibilities

The chosen candidate will collaborate with the cardiology consultant team to deliver an exceptional cardiology service to patients, healthcare partners, and colleagues.

The role is designed to address the growing demands in cardiology, particularly in acute care, while working in close partnership with specialist nursing staff and other consultants within the heart failure program.

The appointee will be an integral part of the cardiology department, maintaining strong communication with colleagues in the Emergency Department and Acute Medicine. The role includes the management of cardiac clinics, with no obligations to cardiology wards or general medical on-call duties.

About Our Organization

This is an exciting time to join West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, as we embark on significant redevelopment initiatives as part of the New Hospital Programme. Notably, Watford General Hospital will undergo extensive renovations, resulting in a modernized facility.

Our trust has recently achieved 'teaching hospital' status, a testament to the commitment of our teams and individuals who strive to provide high-quality training, education, and development opportunities across all workforce levels.

We are committed to inclusivity and welcome applications from individuals with disabilities. Should you require assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Application Process

Please note that we reserve the right to close this advertisement early due to high application volumes. If you do not receive a response within three weeks of your application, please consider your application unsuccessful.

Job Duties

The successful candidate will primarily operate from Watford General Hospital, working alongside the cardiology consultant team to provide a comprehensive cardiology service for patients, local general practitioners, and hospital staff. In-patient cardiology services are centralized at the acute site. Patients with primary cardiology issues will be under the direct supervision of the cardiology team.

The appointee is expected to work autonomously and in close collaboration with colleagues in the Acute Assessment Unit, Emergency Department, and Ambulatory Care to enhance and develop frontline services within the Trust. The role may also include outpatient hot clinics during the week to facilitate early discharges and urgent referrals, with potential satellite clinics at other locations.

The position includes dedicated time for frontline care, encompassing responsibilities in the Acute Assessment Unit and Emergency Department, as well as support for our Virtual Heart Failure ward. Time will also be allocated for triaging A&E discharges into clinics through the electronic Urgent Care Review initiative, which is currently in development. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to this evolving project, and participation in an emergency on-call rota may be required, subject to confirmation.

Additionally, there will be dedicated time for subspecialty interests, with a preference for heart failure and imaging, although we are open to supporting other interests based on the candidate's skills and needs.
