Applications are welcomed from UK and international doctors training in adult cardiology with the necessary experience to take up a period of training in advanced transcatheter structural heart interventions. This post would suit either an experienced interventional trainee (close to or post CCST or with an international equivalent) who wishes to enter a dedicated period of training in structural intervention focused around TAVI. To facilitate maximum availability to the TAVI service there will not be any participation in the middle grade cardiology on call rota.
The post involves dedicated daytime activities within the TAVI team working closely with the Wythenshawe based TAVI operators and TAVI nurses. The successful candidate will learn all aspects of TAVI assessment, TAVI procedures, CT analysis and echocardiographic assessment of aortic valve disease.
As a reference centre for TAVI CT training, and the only centre in Europe to offer dedicated CT training for both Edwards Sapien and Medtronic Evolut valves, we are involved in training consultant TAVI operators from around Europe. The fellowship therefore offers unparalleled training in CT TAVI assessment with the trainee having personal access to the latest version of the gold standard 3 mensio software, that is not readily available elsewhere.
Main duties of the job
Post will include ward rounds, outpatient clinics, MDTs and catheter lab sessions. Please see attached job description for more detail.
