In this role, you will contribute to the delivery of high quality General Cardiology services, including ward rounds on the ACCU and cardiology ward, alongside managing approximately three outpatient clinics per week and triaging referrals. You will play a key part in developing and improving inpatient pathways to enhance patient flow and reduce length of stay, while also delivering subspecialty clinics aligned with your expertise and the needs of the service. The post includes active involvement in teaching undergraduate and postgraduate trainees, as well as participation in clinical governance, audit, and research activities. We welcome applicants with any subspecialty interest; while an interest in imaging is desirable, it is not essential.
