The Clinical Fellow posts have been reconfigured in response to detailed consultation and this post is initially for a period of 12 months. Please see person specification for essential criteria we are looking for you to match. Successful candidates will join a team of middle grade staff to provide cardiology services across both sites of Nottingham University Hospital. Post holders will also participate in the cardiology out of hours on call rota.
The post offers an excellent opportunity for gaining experience in clinical cardiology, cardiac investigations (including echo), interventional procedures, audit, research and teaching in a large tertiary centre cardiology department. The experience will provide a firm footing in all aspects of clinical cardiology and will enhance the chance of successfully gaining a place in a recognised cardiology training programme.
The post has been substantially revised to provide development and education in Cardiology. The post is suitable for a junior doctor wishing to pursue a career in cardiology and is especially aimed at those individuals wishing to gain some cardiology experience in preparation for applying to a training scheme to obtain a national training number (NTN) in cardiology. There is a well-established track record for holders of the Fellow post to successfully gain a NTN.
