Summary
A Vacancy at St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a BSE accredited Band 7 Cardiac Physiologist/Clinical Scientist to join St George’s Hospital Trust Echocardiography Department at the Queen Mary's Hospital community site in Roehampton.
As a band 7 Cardiac Physiologist you will be expected to independently perform and report standard echocardiograms across a variety of settings (outpatient clinics, inpatient wards, community sites, etc...) to local/BSE standards. Teaching will be provided for those unfamiliar with strain or 4D echo.
A 15% recruitment and retention premium will be added to your salary in addition to high cost living allowance (HCA). Furthermore, there will be opportunities to participate in weekend waiting list initiative and private work at enhanced rates.
We hope you will be keen to join our team and help us deliver outstanding care every time.
Adult Echocardiography
Training in advanced Echo modalities (i.e., stress Echo, valve clinic, etc...)
Teaching junior staff
Participation in Audit and QA
We are a friendly, education-minded department with BSE Departmental Accreditation in TTE, Stress Echo, TOE, and Education. We are passionate about supporting the continued professional development and education of our echocardiographers.
St. George’s Hospital is a tertiary referral centre providing one of the largest specialised cardiology services in London. As a tertiary cardiac centre, we provide echocardiography support to a wide range of specialties including cardiothoracic surgery, coronary and structural intervention, electrophysiology, inherited cardiac conditions and heart failure. The Queen Mary's Hospital site is one of the first CDCs in the country providing access to Echo in the community.
Our department has a top-of-the-range, multi-vendor fleet of echocardiography machines all with strain and 4D functionality. Additionally, we have a dedicated echo reporting system with large numbers of reporting stations to help support the workflow of our echocardiographers.
Band 7 echocardiographers are encouraged to undergo a period of training in at least one of the following specialist areas: Physiologist/Scientist-led Valve Clinics, Stress Echocardiography, Contrast and Bubble Echo, Maternity Echo, CRT clinic or inpatient echo triage. Those with the right level of experience and knowledge in these areas can apply to become a ‘sub-speciality lead’, where they will work with the lead echocardiographer to develop the service (writing SOPs, performing audits etc) during dedicated admin sessions.
We are a large training department hosting students from the Practitioner, Scientist and Echo Training Programmes. We expect all band 7’s to be involved with the training of junior physiologists/doctors, as well as participating in quality assurance, audits and weekly educational meetings.
Please see the attached Job Description and Person Specification for more information.
