Consultant in Cardiology - Heart Failure & Imaging/Devices

at  Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust

This is a full-time post for a Consultant cardiologist with sub-specialty interest in heart failure and is designed to keep up with the increasing demands on our local service, but also an exciting opportunity to enhance and further strengthen Cardiology services at CHFT. The successful applicant will join 2 existing Consultant colleagues in delivering our heart failure service and to develop other innovative pathways/ services for our patients. A complementary sub-specialist interest in cardiac imaging is encouraged; but sub-specialty interest in cardiac device implantation is also welcome. Applicants will be required to have a wide range of experience in general cardiology and will join 10 full time and one part-time cardiology consultants in the Trust.
The post holder will be expected to work with colleagues at both sites as required to support the service. The post holder will contribute to the current 1:9 Consultant of the week model for delivering cardiology inpatient care at CRH. There will also be a commitment to a 1:9 cardiology on call service/ weekend rota across the Trust. There is no commitment to general medicine on call.
Applications are encouraged from experienced consultants wishing to take up a new challenge or newly accredited consultants who will be supported through our highly regarded development programmes. The post holder is encouraged to develop his/her own sub-specialty interest.
This is a Full-Time post providing 10 Programmed Activities (PAs), but applicants wishing to work part-time are also encouraged to apply and job plans will be adjusted accordingly, and by negotiation with appointees.
