Description

This post is to replace an existing cardiologist with special interest in pacing and complex devices at Royal Bolton Hospital and support the expanding heart failure service.

You will join five existing Consultant Cardiologists with interests in pacing and devices (1), advanced cardiac imaging (2) and cardiac failure (2).

In addition to those consultants providing an inpatient service, we have a full time consultant supporting the outpatient service and rapid access clinics.

A specialist interest in cardiac pacing and complex cardiac devices is ideally required. Royal Bolton Hospital houses the NW Sector Pacing Lab which was opened September 2009. The Lab provides bradycardia pacing for Bolton patients and complex device implantation for patients from Bolton, Salford and Wigan. A new image intensifier with flat plate detector was installed about 18 months ago. Pacemaker, CRT and ICD clinics are held daily and are predominantly physiologist led. There is a monthly CRT optimisation clinic run as a combined clinic with a physiologist, HFSN and Device consultant.

Remote monitoring and response to high risk alerts for our complex devices is standard practice and supported by our cardiac physiologist and HFSN Team.
