Our Cardiology department has a fantastic opportunity for a Specialty Doctor to support the junior doctors and Consultants of this immersive and supportive team at our Southend Site.
Our Trust offers facilities for Cardiac CT angiograms and MIBI scans, sharing the heart and chest department with the respiratory team. We perform general cardiology clinics, rapid access chest pain, AF clinics, and BNP clinics.
To be considered for this role, you should have completed at least four years of full-time postgraduate training (or equivalent part-time or flexible training), with at least two years in the relevant specialty or as a fixed-term specialty trainee in a relevant field.
As a Specialty Doctor, you will participate in the cardiology on-call medical rota (1:5/1:6 weekly) and conduct 2-4 outpatient clinics weekly.
Your role involves 3-4 training/service sessions of cardiac procedures per week. Comprehensive training will be provided in basic and advanced echocardiography, nuclear cardiology, CT coronary angiography, and invasive coronary angiography. Training in advanced modalities will support your application for CESR.
We offer excellent training opportunities for career development within Cardiology, including our own cardiac catheterisation lab where diagnostic angiograms are performed, along with device implantations such as brady pacing, ICDs, and complex devices.
Our team works closely with around 20 cardiac physiologists who perform echocardiography, treadmill testing, ambulatory monitors, and device follow-ups, supporting doctors with specialized echo procedures like TOE and dobutamine stress testing.
Our ambition is to deliver excellent local and specialist services, improve patient health and well-being, and create a vibrant environment for staff to develop, innovate, and build careers.
We aim to maximize our skills and experiences to become the best we can be. As one organization, we will recruit and retain the finest specialist staff through increased employment opportunities across our Trust.
