Job summary

Our Cardiology team is made up of a wide range of enthusiastic and passionate individuals including 14 consultants, 3 Specialty Doctors, 4 Specialty Registrars, 3 core trainees and 3 Foundation trainees. We have invaluable support from a team of specialist nurses based both in our trust and in the community.

We invite applications for consultants in cardiology with a specialist interest and formal training in CMR (Cardiac Magnetic Resonance). An interest in an additional non-invasive subspecialty, or general medicine would also be welcomed.

Our vision is to deliver patient centred, accessible and integrated services, as seamlessly as possible with primary care. With 11 Coronary Care and 26 Cardiology beds, new diagnostic facilities, and access to a full range of non-invasive and invasive cardiac facilities our team has access to exceptional, modern facilities as well as general imaging, including TTE and TOE, CTCA, CMRI (including stress MR) and Interventional radiology services. We have a fully established bradycardia pacing, complex device, and PCI service (excluding PPCI provided in the Tertiary centre). We have an established Nurse-led heart failure service with community integration.

Main duties of the job

Providing, in conjunction with consultant colleagues, an acute cardiology service to the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust.

Inpatient cardiology work including the 11 bedded CCU and 28 bedded cardiology ward

Urgent and Emergency Care duties for cardiology at Pinderfields out of hours is currently assessed as 0.45PA per week, with local weekday on-calls (1:12), and weekend on-calls (1:10). This equates to an 3% availability supplement

The Department runs 2 cardiologist of the week rotas on a 1 in 13 basis;

One for the 11 bedded CCU (which includes accepting referrals from the Acute Admissions Unit and from inpatients elsewhere in the hospital)
