Consultant Cardiologist with an interest in devices

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our dynamic and innovative team at the Royal Wolverhampton Hospital NHS Trust. The post holder will, in conjunction with Consultant and Senior colleagues, provide a device service and general cardiology, and play a full part in the out-of-hours On-Call service for the department.

We are expanding our consultant body and are looking for a Device consultant cardiologist to work as part of our device team. We need someone who will work well within our existing device team to enhance the existing service. You would be joining an enthusiastic team. The successful applicant will be part of a 1:17 week cardiology ward weekday on-call rota when normal activities are cancelled. It is anticipated that an average of 10 - 12 patients would be seen by the post holder per clinic these would be a mixture of new and review cases. The post holder will take part in the cardiology ward cover and 1:17 weeks will spend a week based on the ward and on-call for ward patients. There are 43 beds on the cardiology ward. The ward on-call and the emergency PCI on-call rotas have been separated out and weekend ward rounds are undertaken by the non-PCI consultants to enable the PCI consultant to focus on PCI. The on-call elements of this post will be discussed after appointment and reflected in the agreed job plan with the individual. In line with the Royal College of Physician's guidance discussions will include the option of time off in lieu or additional duties being paid.
