Locum Consultant Cardiologist

2 months ago

Norwich, United Kingdom Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital Full time

Job summary

We wish to appoint a Locum Consultant Cardiologist with a specialist interest in pacing and complex devices. This is an exciting opportunity for a suitably qualified and experienced colleague to hold a fixed term post initially for 6 months pending the appointment of a substantive replacement. The postholder will support the provision of pacing services in Norfolk and Waveney and undertake on-call duties in general cardiology. Additional subspecialty interests in imaging or heart failure would be welcome.

The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) serves a population of approximately 1 million and provides one of the largest and busiest pacing services in the UK. There are more than 1400 device implants per year, including leadless pacing and subcutaneous ICDs. Demand is continually growing, reflecting the demographics of the Norfolk and Waveney ICB. The service has recently been expanded as a result. The department is proud of its pacing service and is continually looking at new pathways and innovations to improve care.

NNUH is a 1200 bedded multidisciplinary teaching hospital with the full range of medical, surgical, obstetric and diagnostic services. The cardiology department includes 22 consultants with specialist interests including adult congenital heart disease, cardiac rhythm management, cardiac imaging, coronary disease and intervention, heart failure, inherited cardiac conditions, maternal cardiology, valve disease and pulmonary hypertension. Two academic consultants have joint appointments with the University of East Anglia Medical School.

This is a 10 PA post, but a candidate who is unable for personal reasons to undertake the duties as described will receive equal consideration. If such a candidate is appointed, the job content will be modified as appropriate in consultation with consultant colleagues and local management.

We welcome all applications irrespective of age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, race or religion. Additionally, people with disabilities will be offered an interview providing they meet the minimum criteria for the post. The Trust operates job share and flexible working.

Main duties of the job

1. Provide, with the other NNUH consultants, a system of mutual cover for annual, study and professional leave for weekday cover. The weekend cover will only be swapped if necessary after discussion with colleagues.

2. The new post holder will help provide cross-cover of the pacing service.

3. Provide consultation and advisory service to medical colleagues in other specialties in the Trust.

4. Liaise with medical staff in other specialties and participate in the regular clinical meetings and other post-graduate activities of the hospitals.

5. Take part in the Royal College of Physicians continuing medical education programme.

6. Play a full part in the teaching and audit activities of the department. Undergraduates from the UEA Medical School are attached to NNUH regularly for their circulation unit (12 clinical weeks, 24 UEA based), which may involve the successful candidate in bedside (clinic and ward) teaching as well as seminars and PBL feedback.

7. Attendance is expected at the weekly MDT with cardiothoracic colleagues at Papworth, monthly Directorate and clinical governance meetings, and subspecialty MDT. All consultants, including the appointee, will be involved in implementing the Clinical Governance programs of the Trust. This includes active participation in clinical audit, quality, clinical guidelines/pathways, professional development, appraisal and risk management.
