Description

This locum post will join the existing strong team of 19 cardiologist's cross site with a special interest in EP.

The team, comprising of ten interventionalists, two Electrophysiologist and seven imaging/heart failure consultants delivering inpatient, outpatient and cath lab-based care for patients at Wexham Park Hospital.

The post holder's core skills would allow them to provide cover for inpatient care in CCU and the cardiology ward which includes daily ward rounds at weekends including weekend cover as well as outpatients' clinics.

The basis of the post is 10 programmed activities, of which there will be 8 fixed sessions, the remainder will be allocated for supporting activities.

The post holder would be expected to perform as consultant of the week on a 1:8 basis where all other activities are curtailed.

One half day per month is dedicated to audit and teaching during which time all routine work is suspended. All staff are expected to attend except for those providing emergency cover. Our divisional meeting is also held at this time. All members of the department are encouraged to take study leave and will be expected to fulfil CME requirements.

It is assumed that every member of the department will play a full part in formal and informal teaching of medical and other staff, and this is recognized as part of Supporting Clinical Activities (SPA).
