A Vacancy at Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.
Cardiology across the Humber is undergoing transformation - Hull University Teaching Hospitals as the tertiary centre working alongside North Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Trust. This brings an exciting opportunity to join more than 20 cardiologists in one of the largest and most progressive cardiology units in the NHS. The work / life balance in this part of the world is incomparable, with opportunities for career development, teaching, research, service development and being part of a forward-looking cardiology service.
The post holder will be appointed primarily to support the PCI service at NLAG. The successful applicant will be employed by Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and can expect to also have a commitment to undertake some PCI at the tertiary centre. There are close links with Hull York Medical School (HYMS) and Hull is its own training deanery for cardiology – training 15 specialist registrars in cardiology.
Living and working in this part of the world offers beautiful scenery, competitive house prices, first rate schooling and easy transport links. From the nearby market town of Beverley (Sunday Times ‘top 10 liveable places’ in the North), the City of Hull or the sprawling countryside of North Lincolnshire – there is a typical friendly welcoming lifestyle for everyone who joins the team. York is 1 hour’s drive, Leeds is 1 hour’s drive, and London is 2.15 hours by train.
Clinical work will be split across the two organisations. You will work across a compact geography; Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital are 6 miles apart, Hull and Scunthorpe and Grimsby are 30-40 minutes apart by car. All appointees will have job plans designed to minimise travel and maximise the amount of remote working that is done.
The job plan will include: Two days of cath lab activity a week; 2 clinics; admin and SPA time. In-patient / ward work as Consultant of the week: 8 weeks per year of ward cover with the possibility of also contributing to the PPCI out of hours rota.
This locum appointment is for 6 months.
