A Vacancy at University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust.
This is an opportunity for a cardiologist to join our growing team caring for adult patients with congenital heart disease in South West Britain. This post is a maternity cover for 9 months.
The Bristol Adult Congenital Heart Disease Unit (ACHD) is a specialised centre for adults with congenital heart disease within the Bristol Heart Institute (BHI). The BHI provides secondary and tertiary cardiac services in a purpose built environment. We provide congenital heart disease services for approximately 6 million people throughout the South-West of England with additional interventional services for South Wales. Our team consists of four full-time ACHD Consultant Cardiologists and one Congenital Cardiologist with a mixed paediatric and adult practice. We have four congenital cardiac surgeons, four specialist ACHD nurses, two senior ACHD fellows, one ACHD NTN trainee, an MDT co-ordinator and full administrative support. The unit is closely linked with the General/Acquired Cardiac Services and with the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children.
The post is less than full time, 0.92 WTE (9.2 PAs), and – in accordance with Trust policy for consultant appointments – 1.5PAs will be available for supporting professional activities within this allocation.
Applicants should hold MRCP (UK) or equivalent qualification and should be on the General Medical Council (GMC) specialist register, or be within 6 months of their CCT date at interview.
We are looking for dynamic individuals who want to join our ACHD team. The following subspecialty interests are desirable: Imaging, including peri-procedural imaging. The expected ACHD on-call and ward cover commitment will approximately be 1 in 5, with cross cover. The post-holder will work in close collaboration with the ACHD team, consultant cardiologists, paediatric cardiologists, congenital cardiac surgeons, obstetricians, cardiac anaesthetists and the intensive care teams.
The post-holder will be provided with an adequately equipped office, including information technology facilities and will have secretarial and administrative support.
The contract will be held with the University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust. The post-holder will also have responsibilities to develop and contribute to continuing education, professional development, audit and research within the Division and the Trust.
University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW) is one of the largest acute Trusts in the country, bringing together a combined workforce of over 13,000 staff and over 100 different clinical services across 10 different sites, serving a core population of more than 500,000 people across South West England. UHBW has been rated by the CQC as ‘Good’ overall and our staff are proud to deliver excellent care to the people of Bristol, Weston and beyond. As a forward- thinking multi-award winning Trust and a digital exemplar committed to improving patient care, our world-leading research and innovations are having a positive local and global impact. Our hospitals are spread across Bristol and Weston, join us and you can enjoy the very best of both worlds; city living within a stone’s throw of the countryside or beside the seaside, both with easy access to all that the South West has to offer. UHBW is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. As an equal opportunities employer actively working towards a diverse workforce we aim to recruit and retain a workforce which represents the rich diversity of the local population at all levels and are committed to designing our services around the needs of individual patients and those around them. Anonymous information will be used from your application in order to ensure we’re meeting our pledge.
