Beyond the clinical duties you will also be responsible for managing the echo staff, develop echo educational programmes, training and competency assessment, SoPs and clinical guidelines, and deputise for the Cardiac Physiology Manager during periods of absence.
We actively support continuing professional development, including apprenticeships, STP and individual BSE accreditation and this role requires oversight on the education and support required for staff to achieve this. There will be opportunities to develop leadership and management skills with in-house courses and support will be given to work towards management/leadership qualifications.
