The appointee will be joining an ICC team. The role of Clinical Fellow is to help support the rapidly expanding Inherited Cardiac Conditions (ICC) service. There has been a major increase in the ICC service in recent years and an increase in referrals from within the region and from further afield. There is a strong link with the Genetics service with a Consultant Geneticist and 2 genetic counsellors present for ICC clinics and the ICC MDT. Referrals to all aspects of ICC have increased significantly. The specialist ICC service is delivered through outpatient clinics, an established obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy service, device implantation and ablation of arrhythmias. Cardiomyopathy clinics are run four times a week, one of these is a specific obstructive HCM. The 'heart muscle disease' service has benefited from a true multi-disciplinary clinic once a month with imaging / EP / device / structural expertise. There is a sports cardiology clinic run in conjunction with specialist echocardiography and cardiopulmonary exercise testing support.
The ICC fellow would have the opportunity to work across all aspects of the ICC unit with a team of ICC consultants, who have additional sub-specialist interests in imaging (both MRI and echo), devices, and electrophysiology. Outpatient clinics will form a major part of the job plan, combined with MDT meetings. Specialist experience will be in dedicated cardiomyopathy and inherited channelopathy clinics.
As the largest single site specialist heart and chest hospital in the UK, we, at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital, have a clear vision 'to be the best cardiothoracic integrated healthcare organisation'.
We provide specialist services in cardiothoracic surgery, cardiology, respiratory medicine both in the hospital and out in the community.
We serve a catchment area of 2.8 million people, spanning Merseyside, Cheshire, North Wales and the Isle of Man, and increasingly we receive referrals from outside these areas for highly specialised services such as aortics.
Our reputation for strong performance is important in delivering the best care for our patients and high quality clinical services. This is underpinned by a culture of research and innovation, delivered in modern estate and our encouragement of flexible working in a variety of forms.
