Description:
Cardiac surgical procedures undertaken at LHCH range from more routine cardiac surgical operations including CABG and valve surgeries to complex aortovascular and ACHD surgery. We additionally anaesthetise patients undergoing interventional cardiology procedures including TAVI, other structural procedures including for ACHD and electrophysiological procedures.
Individual fellowships will be planned according to the level of experience of the candidate. Appointed clinical fellows can expect to gain experience in elective management of patients with coronary artery and valvular heart disease presenting for on and off pump cardiac surgery, those requiring major aortic and aortovascular surgery and adult congenital heart disease surgery. Basic training in
transoesophageal echocardiography will also be offered, and the trainee will be supported and encouraged to accredit with the British Society of Echocardiography.
Clinical Fellows in Cardiothoracic Anaesthesia will also be supported to gain experience of the elective management of patients presenting for thoracic surgical procedures via thoracotomy, video-assisted thoracoscopy and robotically. There will be opportunities to gain experience of the management of patients undergoing procedures involving a shared airway, including rigid bronchoscopy for management of benign and malignant disease. Training in performance of regional anaesthetic techniques for the chest wall will also be provided.
Successful candidates will initially undertake clinical work in the theatre and critical care setting, supervised by the consultant staff of the department in proportion to their experience and the complexity of the procedures, in a similar manner to rotating specialty trainees. Additional, candidates will be expected to initially form part of our current resident on-call rota, providing out of hours cover within critical care and also across the wider hospital including the catheter lab.
Progress will be monitored with support of the educational supervisor and departmental leads, and it is expected that increasing independence will be gained in management of patients presenting for elective surgery and that on call and service provision duties will then also be reviewed in line with this.
As the largest single site specialist heart and chest hospital in the UK, we, at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital, have a clear vision ‘to be the best cardiothoracic integrated healthcare organisation’.
