Description
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our team as a Senior Clinical Fellow. The post is full time and fixed term for 12 months at the Liverpool Heart & Chest Hospital.

This is an exciting time to join the Medicine Division at Liverpool Heart and Chest as the extensive cath lab refurbishment programme draws to a close and the addition of a 7th cath lab is complete.


The successful applicant will work under the supervision of the ten interventional cardiologists at the trust and also for the joint appointees.

There will be exposure to all aspects of clinical cardiac intervention. Outpatient work will involve general cardiology and pre-assessment for day-case PCI.

The appointee will be jointly responsible for management of patients transferred to the LHCH with acute coronary syndromes and take part in the primary PCI programme.


There will be regular emergency cover as part of the cardiology SpR rota which will be closely supervised by consultant staff.

The post-holder will gain considerable experience of the management of cardiac patients in a tertiary setting. There is a full shift rota in place, 1:15 band 1a inclusive of prospective cover.


There will be a commitment to contributing to the rota for ACS PCI weekend lists alongside the on-call interventional consultant.

This is separate to the on-call commitment and will provide a valuable training opportunity.


As the largest single site specialist heart and chest hospital in the UK, we, at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital, have a clear vision 'to be the best cardiothoracic integrated healthcare organisation'.

We provide specialist services in cardiothoracic surgery, cardiology, respiratory medicine both in the hospital and out in the community.


We serve a catchment area of 2.8 million people, spanning Merseyside, Cheshire, North Wales and the Isle of Man, and increasingly we receive referrals from outside these areas for highly specialised services such as aortics.


Our reputation for strong performance is important in delivering the best care for our patients and high quality clinical services.

This is underpinned by a culture of research and innovation, delivered in modern estate and our encouragement of flexible working in a variety of forms.
