We have been assigned by one of the UK's more prestigious NHS Trusts to help them recruit a Consultant in Cardiology - Pacing and Complex Devices on either a Substantive or an NHS Fixed Term basis for 12 months to join their successful Cardiology department.
Our client has recently completed the build of a brand new 19-person Clinical Assessment Unit to help deliver Same Day Emergency Medicine principles and ensure patients aren't admitted to hospital unnecessarily. The trust is also currently working on an estates master plan for the whole hospital site that hopes to access capital from the governments ‘new hospital programme'. These plans will also include provision for the already approved College of Medical Science. The Cardiology Team has expanded over the last 10 years and provides a comprehensive cardiology service to the local population.

In addition, there are 10 Specialist Nurses caring for patients with cardiac problems. There are 3 chest pain nurses based in the emergency department and 7 nurse specialists who run nurse-led clinics for post MI secondary prevention, angina, and heart failure.
The successful appointee will be asked to fulfil various duties whilst working here. A specialist interest in cardiac pacing and complex cardiac devices is required. The main site houses the NW Sector Pacing Lab which was opened September 2009. The Lab provides bradycardia pacing for patients and complex device implantation for patients from North West England. A new image intensifier with flat plate detector was installed about 12 months ago. Pacemaker, CRT, and ICD clinics are held daily and are predominantly physiologist led. There is a monthly CRT optimisation clinic. A new 10-bedded Coronary Care Unit, which is under the supervision of the cardiologists, was opened in December 2003. You and the present cardiologists will run an integrated ward-based service. There is one dedicated Cardiology ward with 25 beds which receives ‘step down' admissions from the CCU and Cardiology admissions for the Acute Medical Receiving Unit. You will be responsible for the care of patients admitted to the CCU on the days that you are on call, with a Cardiology on-call rota of 1 in 6. There will be no on-call for GIM. You will also participate in the Postgraduate Education Programme for both Hospital Medical Staff and Primary Health Care Workers, and will be involved in the teaching of 3rd, 4th, and 5th-year medical students & take an active part in Medical Audit.
