Job overview
Applications are invited for the post of Clinical Fellow [ST3+ Grade] to commence in the Department of Cardiology at Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation trust for twelve months in the first instance.
The post provides training in echocardiography, as well as in general adult cardiology. It also involves the post holder in the organisation and running of the weekly departmental educational seminar programme.
Main duties of the job
Although the post does not have a recognised national training number, it provides the same exposure to, and experience in, cardiology as our numbered cardiology training post. It gives excellent preparation for those wishing to pursue a career in cardiology or in hospital medicine, offering clinical experience, training and the opportunity to undertake teaching, audit & research. The majority of our prior Homerton cardiology clinical fellow post holders have gone on to secure numbered training posts in cardiology, and / or research fellow posts in peer reviewed research programmes funded by charitable grant awarding bodies (such as BHF or CRY) at postgraduate centres (such as UCLH or St. George’s), in the UK, as well as in Australia and Switzerland, several of whom are now consultants.
The department offers core & advanced echocardiography (transthoracic, contrast, transoesophageal & stress echocardiography), CT coronary angiography and other diagnostic services (ETT, ambulatory ECG & BP monitoring, transcranial Doppler scanning & portable ECG event monitoring).
There is no on-call commitment for this post.
Detailed job description and main responsibilities
The Clinical Fellow will work closely with the Consultants, Associate Specialist, Cardiology middle & junior grade medical staff and Cardiology Nurse Specialists, and will support the cardiology team, cardiac nurses and cardiac physiologists, in delivering both in- and out-patient care. The clinical fellow will be expected to cover clinical duties of other staff when they are away.
