Senior Cardiac Physiologist

Job summary

The Cardiology service at Bucks Healthcare is well established and covers a wide range of services including implantation and follow up of pacemakers and complex devices, cardiac catheterisation and PCI and a variety of non-invasive diagnostic examinations.

We are looking for a cardiac physiologist with basic experience and knowledge of cardiac rhythm devices who is looking to develop their knowledge and skills OR a cardiac physiologist who is cath lab trained.

We are a friendly and supportive department, with a strong ethos of encouragement and support for staff with their ongoing CPD. We have good links with research and development and strong links with Imperial College Healthcare.

A BSc Cardiac Physiology qualification or equivalent is essential and accreditation in cardiac devices (BHRS, EHRA or IBHRE) is desirable but not essential.

Successful applicants who do not hold a CRM accreditation will be expected to achieve this within a specific time frame and will be offered support to do so.

Members of the cardiac physiology team will be expected to rotate around areas of cardiology such as the catheter labs (angiograms, PCI, PPCI, IVUS, OCT, FFR), exercise tolerance testing, tilt tests, tape analysis, device follow up, remote monitoring follow up and device implant to keep up existing skills so experience in those areas would be an advantage.
