Job Summary

Locum Consultant Cardiologist - Fixed Term - 6 Month Contract

The successful applicant will be part of a team of consultants (cardiologists and physicians) whose primary responsibility is CDU on a shift pattern through the week at present with the future intention of extending into the evenings and weekends. There will be support in the CDU by middle grade and junior staffing plus specialist nurses and advanced nurse practitioners. We are in the process of designing rapid access services for those who may not need admission. Ideally, the successful applicant will have a track record of setting up similar services within cardiology. This post will require ward rounds for admitted patients on the CDU, and review, investigation, and treatment of acutely presenting patients on the CDU and Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC).

The primary area of work will be the clinical decisions unit but there may be opportunities for procedural work for example in the catheter labs. Procedural work would not be fixed sessions but will fit around CDU staffing levels and the needs of the service. There may also be a need for flexibility and offering support to outlying patients admitted under cardiology.
