The Department You will join a well-established cardiology unit within a tailor made cardiology suite including purpose built cardiac catheterisation laboratory. We have a state of the art Philips Azurion C12 cardiac catheterisation laboratory dedicated for cardiology.

We have an 8 bed coronary care unit, 16 general cardiology beds, and a 6 bed cardiology day ward. You will join a team of 5 other consultant cardiologists with varying subspecialty interests including cardiac device therapy, imaging, heart failure, and coronary intervention. We also have visiting consultants undertaking cardiac device implantation at Rotherham from the regional network.

We are supported by two part-time hospital based heart failure nurses, an arrhythmia nurse, an advanced nurse practitioner, and a team of highly specialised cardiac physiologists, echo-sonographers and ECG technicians. There is further team of cardiac specialist nurses and a cardiac physiotherapist based in the community for heart failure and cardiac rehabilitation. The cardiology suite at Rotherham Hospital, adjacent to the coronary care unit, comprises a catheterisation/pacing laboratory and day ward, echocardiography rooms, rapid access chest pain clinics, exercise treadmill testing, tilt-table testing, and full ambulatory ECG monitoring fitting and analysis, as well as consultant offices and secretarial support. Nearby to the main cardiology suite is our cardiac device suite from which a physiologist-led implantable loop recorder service is run, plus permanent pacemaker, cardiac resynchronisation therapy and internal cardioverter defibrillator patients are pre-assessed and followed up with full optimisation service. The cardiology department has close links with other specialties and with regional cardiology/cardiothoracic colleagues.
