About the role
This is a replacement post for an established TAVI consultant. The TAVI/structural team currently consists of 6 interventional cardiologists, supported by imaging cardiologists, dedicated nurse specialists, cardiac and vascular surgeons. This appointment will supplement an experienced team with an operator who can bring both procedural skill and expertise in other aspects such as alternative access, CT planning and research . TF TAVI lists are 2.5 days per week (10-12 cases per week) with ad hoc procedures as required, and a monthly surgical TAVI list, weekly MDT and a dedicated weekly TAVI clinic. We have nurse led follow up clinics and pre-admission clinics. We run a successful TAVI training programme with our previous Fellows obtaining consultant posts in tertiary centres in the UK and abroad.
The role is as a dedicated TAVI operator. There will be opportunity for an interested applicant to lead and develop other relevant structural heart disease areas depending on particular interest. This is a full-time (10 PA) Consultant Cardiologist post, based at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital.
