Job summary

We are looking for a further full time post for a Trust grade Doctor ST3-8 level at West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust (WHHT).

These posts have been developed to support our expanding Cardiology department in order to have a full complement of 7 SpRs (4 Deanery StRs and 3 trust grade SpRs).

As of November 2018, the Health Education England has written to us that there will be an increment of our Deanery StRs to 5 (making a total of 8) which reflects our commitment to training of SpRs.

For more experienced applicant there is potential for training in electrophysiology and implantation of complex devices. Our current trust grades are working successfully towards accreditation in echo and MRCP qualification, presenting in international meetings and are encouraged to apply for deanery posts.
