Junior Clinical Fellow in Cardiology

Job summary

We are looking for a Clinical Fellow in Cardiology for 6 months based at Frimley Park Hospital to join our busy department with a Primary PCI Service.

Main duties of the job

This is a 6-month post based at Frimley Park Hospital, a busy DGH with a primary PCI service. We have nine consultants and two cardiology trainees in the department. This job provides an opportunity to gain experience and confidence in managing patients presenting with a range of acute cardiac conditions.

Experience of working in cardiology at senior SHO or level (IMT equivalent or above) is necessary. The duties include seeing inpatient referrals to cardiology, holding the referral phone, and performing ward rounds of the cardiac inpatients on the CCU and step-down ward. There will be opportunities to train in focused echocardiography and undertake an audit or quality improvement project. There are departmental educational meetings twice a week, and attendance is encouraged. Consultant supervision to discuss inpatients will be provided daily, and a consultant ward round will take place twice a week. The job is independent of the medical take, but the post-holder can work bank shifts on the medical on-call rota at weekends if they wish.
