Summary
Clinical Workload: The candidate will be expected to contribute to all aspects of the inpatient and outpatient ACHD service. The exact clinical workload will depend on the candidates experience and areas of interest, but it is expected that the candidate will independently undertake at least one ACHD clinic per week and contribute to the Consultant ACHD on call rota with support from the ACHD consultant body. Teaching and Training Commitments: GSTT is both an undergraduate and a postgraduate teaching centre and Clinical fellows are expected to take an active role in the postgraduate teaching activities. Clinical fellows should attend ward rounds as required and these rounds should be considered a teaching opportunity for more junior staff. In addition they may be required to undertake informal teaching of medical students, nurses and other paramedical staff.

The post holder is expected to be proficient in congenital transthoracic echocardiography and be able to support the physiologist team. Depending on their area of interest the post-holder will also have the opportunity to further their experience in peri-operative TOE, congenital cross-sectional imaging, pulmonary hypertension, pregnancy and heart disease and congenital intervention. Clinical Governance: All medical and dental staff are expected to take part in clinical governance activity, including clinical audit, clinical guideline and protocol development and clinical risk management. They will be expected to produce evidence of their contribution in these areas and their audit of their own clinical work as part of their appraisal.
