Cardiology services are provided across all three acute hospital sites within NHS Lanarkshire and encompass inpatient cardiology care, outpatient clinics, specialist cardiac investigations, heart failure services, cardiac imaging and involvement in the acute and general medical take. The successful applicant will contribute to the ongoing development of cardiology services and support improvements in patient pathways, access and clinical outcomes.
University Hospital Wishaw is home to a busy Cardiology Unit, including Coronary Care Unit (CCU), inpatient cardiology wards and a broad range of diagnostic and therapeutic services.

Applicants who demonstrate a commitment to any of the above or other areas and wish to commence on more than 1 PA for SPA duties should discuss proposals with the identified Recruitment Lead and/or Service Manager who will consider the request in line with the successful candidate’s professional and service requirements.
