Would you like to be a part of our wonderful team in delivering excellent cardiac care to our patients at King’s College Hospital?

If the answer is yes, then look no further. Exciting opportunities have arisen for a motivated and dedicated nurse with an interest in, and ideally experience in, cardiac nursing to join our friendly and supportive team on Sam Oram Ward and the Coronary Care Unit (CCU).

King’s College Hospital is a well-recognised Heart Attack Centre for London and the Southeast of England. We provide a 24-hour, seven-days-a-week Primary Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction (PAMI) service. As a tertiary care centre, the CCU and Sam Oram Ward work closely together to provide specialist care to patients with a variety of cardiac conditions. We receive both elective and emergency admissions and have dedicated teams for heart failure, interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI).

The Coronary Care Unit is an 8-bedded monitored area providing Level 2 care for acutely ill patients requiring inotropic support, intra-aortic balloon pumps, non-invasive ventilation, and temporary pacing.

The Sam Oram Ward is a 17-bedded unit dedicated to patients requiring continuous cardiac monitoring via bedside monitors and telemetry. It also serves as a step-down area for Level 2 patients.
