To supervise, train and manage junior medical staff and research fellows working within electrophysiology, to ensure high standards of clinical practice and efficient use of resources.
To undertake ward rounds as necessary and outpatient clinics to a programme to be agreed with the Cardiology Clinical Lead, Harefield Hospital Director and consultant cardiology colleagues - proposed timetable is shown below.
