Consultant Cardiologist with interest in Coronary Intervention (NHS Medical & Dental: Consultant) - Cardiology - Medway NHS Foundation Trust
Medway NHS Foundation Trust – Gillingham, Kent
We are recruiting for a Consultant Cardiologist who shares our ambition and vision to deliver the Best of Care by the Best People and has the drive to take us forward, by ensuring that the Trust continues to be the first choice for patients and our staff.
A primary interest in coronary intervention is essential with skill sets encompassing intra-coronary imaging (IVUS/OCT) and physiological invasive assessment of coronary lesions (iFR/FFR/RFR). Further skill sets involving coronary calcium modification would also be highly desirable (Shockwave/Rotablation). The new post holder will also contribute to the various multidisciplinary services within the Trust, GSTT and KCH.
Here at Medway, we pride ourselves on working together as one to ensure that our shared vision of Better, Best, Brilliant is achieved. Our culture and values are what drives the Trust and is the heartbeat of who we are as an organisation.
Would you like to work flexibly? In the NHS, we are reminded every day of how important life is. As a flexible working friendly organisation, we want to be sure that you can work in a way that is best for us, for our patients and for you. Speak to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement which will not mean sacrificing time for personal interests or family commitments. We aim to support you to work flexibly in a way that will suit you and us.
All of our substantive & fixed term employees can enjoy a range of staff benefits, a gym, an active health and wellbeing programme, an on-site nursery and a cycle to work scheme.
We are taking positive action to ensure that we can attract, recruit and retain the best talent and would welcome more applicants from under-represented groups to support the Trust's commitment to a diverse, inclusive and an employer of choice workforce.
