This post is for a Clinical Fellow in Cardiology with a special interest in cardiac electrophysiology. This post is ideally suited to a senior trainee in electrophysiology who wishes to consolidate their knowledge and increase their experience before taking up a consultant post. Applications would also be welcomed from individuals with less experience who are committed to a career in cardiac electrophysiology. The appointee will be expected to have some experience in the performance of modern cardiac electrophysiology procedures, as well as basic proficiency in bradycardia device and ICD implants and troubleshooting.

The successful candidate will receive intensive training in all aspects of interventional cardiac electrophysiology, including electrophysiological diagnosis and ablation of supraventricular arrhythmias, paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation, ischaemic and non-ischaemic ventricular tachycardia. This will include the use of advanced mapping system CARTO and integration with CT and MRI images (CARTO-MERGE).
