Halifax, Calderdale, United Kingdom 0de0a1d8-801e-4b56-84a8-0f3f7cc459c0 Full time £55,000 - £90,000 per year

This is a full-time post for a Cardiology Registrar and is designed to keep up with the increasing demands on our local service, but also an exciting opportunity to enhance and further strengthen Cardiology services at CHFT.

There is a comprehensive induction course and regular weekly teaching with the intention that the service commitment, supervision level and educational opportunities will be equivalent to that of our existing ST3+ trainees and is equivalent to a training post in every way.

There will be an Educational Supervisor allocated to ensure support for professional development and a weekly protected half-day teaching session covering clinical and managerial topics.

We encourage research and audit projects and in addition, the Trust runs ALS and APLS courses.

This is a Full-Time post providing with basic hours of 40 hours per week, but applicants wishing to work part-time are also encouraged to apply and rotas will be adjusted accordingly, and by negotiation with appointees.

The post is predominantly based on the cardiology wards at Calderdale Royal Hospital. Along with ward rounds and supervision of the junior medical staff the post includes commitment to one New Onset Angina Clinic and two general cardiology clinics per week, and offers training in angiography, echocardiography and permanent pacing.

The post includes an
optional
participation in the current on call Middle grade rota for General medicine on a 1 in 15 rota. When on-call you will be overseeing the management of acute admissions along with supporting the wards should it be required. The on-call team is made of registrar (ST3+) doctors, SHOs, FY1 and physician associates. There is also a team of nurses to manage catheters, cannulas, ECGs, IV fluids and some prescribing.

We employ more than 6,500 staff who deliver compassionate care from our two main hospitals, Calderdale Royal Hospital and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary as well as in community sites, health centres and in patients' homes. We also are incredibly proud to have almost 150 volunteers here at CHFT.

We provide a range of services including urgent and emergency care; medical; surgical; maternity; gynaecology; critical care; children's and young people's services; end of life care and outpatient and diagnostic imaging services.

We provide community health services, including sexual health services in Calderdale from Calderdale Royal and local health centres. These include Todmorden Health Centre and Broad Street Plaza.

We continue to modernise and invest in our health services to build on our strong reputation. Foundation trusts are public leaders in improving quality in health services. They are part of the NHS – yet decisions about what they do and how they do it are driven by independent boards. Boards listen to their Council of Governors and respond to the needs of their members – patients, staff and the local community.

Foundation trusts provide what the health service wants, yet are also free to invest quickly in the changes to the local community needs, in striving to be the best, and in putting their patients first.
