Trosolwg o'r swydd
We are looking for an enthusiastic interventional cardiologist to join the team at the Royal Free London NHS Trust. The RFH is a dedicated heart attack centre covering a population 1.5 million people across North central London and is one of the busiest of London’s seven HACs. In newly renovated Cath labs with the latest Siemens ICONO system, integrated intracoronary physiology (FFR, Coroventis) and imaging (OCT, IVUS) is routinely applied and we undertake the full range of complex and high risk PCI with access to calcium modification (rotational atherectomy, Shockwave), CTO and LMS PCI. We perform more than 1000 PCI per annum. The RFH is a large teaching hospital and is a campus of UCL medical school with an active research programme. The cardiology department includes onsite advanced cardiac imaging including CMR, 3D echo, TOE, CTCA and SPECT. There is a full EP service including complex devices and AF ablation. The RFH is a national referral centre for amyloid and pulmonary hypertension and we have been at the forefront of developing thrombectomy services for acute PE, although not part of this post. The successful candidate will participate fully in the PPCI oncall rotation (1 in 7.5) and also the cardiology consultant of the week (3 weeks per year across sites).
There is no general medicine component to this job. A higher degree is desirable and the successful candidate will be encouraged to participate in research and teaching.

Elective and inter-hospital transfer patients are treated as ‘day cases’ via a dedicated day interventional unit. We are also developing a virtual pathway for low risk NSTEMI cases (ALTAS). The department is one of the busiest of London’s dedicated Heart Attack centres providing 24/7 on-call emergency services for primary PCI and the appointed candidate would participate in a 1:7.5 PPCI oncall rota.
