Locum Consultant Cardiologist - Cardiac Imaging

NHS Medical & Dental: Locum Consultant

Job overview

Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is one of the largest acute trusts in the North of England with two hospitals serving a local population of 600,000, increasing to 1.2 million for tertiary services. The services provided by the Trust are split across Hull Royal Infirmary, situated close to Hull city centre, and Castle Hill Hospital, in Cottingham on the outskirts of the city. The Trust has an annual budget of £500m, employing over 10,000 staff who provide a wide range of emergency, inpatient and outpatient services

Main duties of the job

The cardiology department is staffed with energetic, forward-looking cardiologists, and we’re looking for someone similar to join our team. In HUTH, we have the purpose-built £28 million John Cleland Heart Centre which includes 4 cardiac catheter labs equipped with GE Inova 2100 imaging systems, dedicated short stay and inpatient wards. The centre includes the cardiology outpatient and diagnostic departments, 3 cardiothoracic operating theatres and intensive care, high observation and cardiothoracic surgery beds.

We receive invaluable support from our highly experienced cardiac physiologists, radiographers, radiology colleagues, nuclear medicine colleagues and wider multidisciplinary team.

Working for our organisation

The Humber Health Partnership is one of the largest acute and community Partnership arrangements in the NHS, seeing well over one million patients every year and managing a budget of over £1.3 billion.

Made up of two Trusts - Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG) and Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH) - our Partnership has significant ambitions and is committed to delivering world-class hospital and community services for the 1.65 million people we serve.

Together we employ nearly 20,000 staff. Our five main hospital sites are Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital, Scunthorpe General Hospital and Goole and District Hospital, for NLAG and Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital for HUTH.

As Teaching Hospitals working with the Hull York Medical School, we both lead and contribute to research in many areas - biomedical research, primary care, palliative medicine, cardiovascular and respiratory medicine, vascular surgery, cancer surgery and oncology.

We believe that by developing a diverse, inclusive, innovative, skilled and caring workforce, we can deliver excellent care to our patients and a great future for our employees, our Partnership and our community.
