Detailed job description and main responsibilities
The Senior Fellow will be required to undertake transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography with training in congenital heart disease provided. Training will be given in congenital cardiac catheterisation, pacemaker and arrhythmia management and electrophysiology in congenital heart disease appropriate to the Fellow’s training needs. An opportunity to develop skills in congenital cardiac MRI can also be provided with a specific focus on these skills as part of the training program.
For those trainees with a paediatric background, non-congenital adult cardiology may be an important part of their training. There is a regular teaching programme consisting of case presentations, topic discussions, journal club and echo review meetings. Excellent opportunities are available for training in all aspects of congenital heart disease.
As a major university centre of excellence, the unit is at the forefront of research activity and the new postholder will be expected to actively participate in research and audit with dedicated time allocated for this.
