The Cardiology Investigation Unit (CIU) provides a comprehensive range of cardiology investigations, including:
1. Bradycardia and cardiac resynchronisation therapy pacemaker implantation (at BGH only). Occasionally, here at RFH, we perform device implants mainly in emergency cases, such as external permanent generator follow-ups and device clinics on both sides.
2. Implants and follow-ups of Implantable Loop Recorders (ILR).
3. Internal Cardiac Defibrillator (ICD) implantation and follow-up.
4. Routine electrocardiography and physiologist-led exercise testing.
5. Ambulatory Holter monitoring, blood pressure monitoring, including fitting and analysis.
6. Cardiac catheterisation (PCI) within the newly opened double catheter laboratory, including a 24-hour primary coronary intervention service (PPCI).
7. Right/Left Heart studies, Thrombectomy, and EKOS procedures.
The post holder is expected to demonstrate expertise in performing unsupervised exercise testing, fitting and analysing ambulatory Holter and blood pressure monitoring, and performing ECGs. You should be able to work with minimal supervision in basic pacemaker follow-up and cath lab procedures, showing a commitment to high standards of skills in testing and reporting to ensure the best quality patient care.
Assist in the routine administration and organisation of the department. Support and carry out delegated organisational duties appropriate to the grade/level of the post-holder. Contribute to maintaining standards and quality in service development by maintaining and developing your professionalism, skills, and knowledge.
