Job summary
Applications are invited for a Senior Locally Employed Doctor in Coronary Intervention. The post is based at Wythenshawe Hospital which is part of Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust.
Candidates that are non-GMC registered at the point of application will be considered for this position, under the Trusts International Fellowship Scheme (please note, there is a £500 admin charge for this scheme). More information re this scheme can be found on our website - link in job description.
Applicants should have undergone at least 3 years specialist training in general cardiology and have some experience in Intervention.
This post is ideal for someone wishing to enhance their sub-specialty knowledge and experience, and will include exposure to the catheter labs, outpatient clinics and supporting the inpatient wards.
The successful candidate will receive advanced training in interventional Cardiology, and will focus on acute Cardiology in the context of coronary artery disease.
Experience working in a cardiology department in the UK will be important for this post due to the busy and challenging nature of the work of a registrar in our tertiary cardiac centre.
Main duties of the job
The main focus of this role is to improve and be trained in coronary intervention techniques, through working in the cath labs under the supervision of the interventional consultant team.
There is an expectation of the successful postholder to fully contribute to the PCI and interventional Cardiology service at Wythenshawe Hospital.
Furthermore, the postholder will support the consultant team with specific outpatient clinics, which will be selected to complement the postholder's training needs in conjunction with supporting the service with its secondary and tertiary centre work.
There is also a commitment to the Cardiology middle-grade on-call rota, which supports the hospital's acute inpatient work and the wider Greater Manchester footprint as a key point of contact for the tertiary centre.
