Description

Due to the need for a full 7 day service initiative an opportunity has arisen for further Band 7 Chief Cardiac Physiologists in Echo to join our friendly and dynamic team.

We are looking for individuals that can participate in leading the Echo service and work with the Lead Physiologist to help develop this ever expanding service.

The Echocardiography service offers adult trans-thoracic echocardiography 7 days a week. We support routine outpatient and inpatient TTE's and a Consultant led TOE, Exercise and Pharmacological Stress echo service.

We have recently developed a Herceptin clinic for Oncology patients and are looking to set up a Valve clinic working alongside the Specialist Nurses and Physicians.

The Echo team are heavily involved in staff training with a strong development program in place for both Physiologist's and Cardiology Registrars which has resulted in a high success rate for Accreditation.

We also hold weekly Echo meetings which are supported by the Imaging Consultants

Our echo equipment is all due for renewal this year and we are currently reviewing the latest technology as part of our procurement process.

Applicants who have considerable experience in echo but do not yet have Accreditation would be considered on a Band 6, with expectation of obtaining Accreditation following our training programme, leading to a Band 7 post.
