Consultant in Cardiology

Barts Health NHS Trust invites applications to join the Cardiology teams at University College London Hospitals (UCLH) and the Barts Heart Centre as a Consultant Cardiologist with specific expertise in echocardiography and potentially also additional cardiac imaging.

This 10 PA appointment is principally based at UCLH (4 days per week) and the appointee will co-lead the development of this already busy clinical service. We are looking to start on-site stress echocardiography (exercise and dobutamine stress) and to expand our on-site TOE offering. This role will also consolidate the on-site Consultant support for our cardiac physiologist team. It will provide departmental leadership in areas such as audit, governance and quality assurance. The appointee will also assist in provision of clinical advice (particularly in relation to imaging) to our Acute Medical, ITU, Oncology and other specialist services at UCLH.

The job plan will contain 10 Programmed Activities per week on average. The post-holder will work within the Department of Cardiology at UCLH and the Imaging departments at Barts Heart Centre. The post-holder will contribute fully to the general management of cardiac patients through inpatient ward rounds and outpatient clinics and will be required to have received full accreditation in cardiology as a trainee.

The post-holder will work 7.65 PAs of direct clinical care (DCC) per week, and 2.35 PAs of supporting professional activity (SPA) per week, when averaged through the year.

Applicants must possess the MRCP or equivalent, be GMC-registered with a license to practice, and be on the specialist register for cardiology or within six months of specialist registration. Candidates with an interest in clinical research relevant to echocardiography and imaging are particularly encouraged to apply.

The salary range for this position is £113,565 to £150,569 per annum.
