Summary
A Vacancy at University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust.
Do you have a passion for EP and Cardiac Rhythm Management and fancy a career on the sunny south coast?
We may have just the change you’re looking for and are in a fortunate position to be able to offer a Highly Specialised Electrophysiology (EP) and Devices Cardiac Physiologist position in the Dorset Heart Centre.
You will join our existing team of 34 permanent Cardiac Physiologists including 6 Head Of Sections, supported by 14 Cardiographers & Healthcare Science Assistants and a team of admin staff. We are extremely proud of our Cardiac Intervention Services comprising of 4 Catheter Labs, 2 of which are EP Labs.
We provide an Electrophysiology and Device service for a population of 1 million. Our Brady pacing service and ICD implantation rate make us one of the largest Device centres in the UK and our EP service is recognised as an SVT Centre of Excellence by Arrhythmia Alliance. University Hospitals Dorset is supported by 18 Consultant Cardiologists and 6 clinical fellows. We have a highly specialised team of EP and Device Consultants and Physiologists and are looking to expand this with the addition of a new key member.
Base Location: Bournemouth
Interview Date: TBC
We perform complex 3D mapping cases (using CARTO, Precision and Rhythmia) as well as more simple EP cases with access to both RF and Cryo ablation and regularly participate in clinical research. This post would suit someone with strong EP and Devices grounding, looking to take the next step into a highly specialised role.
The successful candidate will ideally;
• Be competent in both simple and complex EP cases and be performing all types of EP procedures including use of 3D mapping systems independently or with minimal supervision.
• Perform all types of pacing and complex device implants and follow up (ICD, CRT-Ds) independently.
• Have or be working towards achieving professional qualifications e.g. BHRS/IBHRE (formerly HRUK/NASPE).
The successful applicant will possess BSc Clinical Physiology (Cardiology) or equivalent, as well as RCCP registration (ideally).
Whilst this position is specialising in EP and Devices, experience in a wide range of cardiac investigations is essential and there will be a requirement to participate in the CRM on-call service and/or PCI on call service as required. We are fully supportive of personal and professional development; you will be encouraged to attend courses, conferences and seminars relevant to you.
Our values define who we are as #TeamUHD. They underpin everything we do now and in the future. They define how we treat our patients, visitors, and each other, our valued team mates and colleagues.
UHD are investing in services across the Trust, with many being transformed and developed following merger and the New Hospital Programme.
In some cases this means that a services may move site this year or next, either temporarily or long term. Recruiting Managers interviewing for this role will be happy to answer any specific questions that you have at interview
