The post provides training in specialist heart failure services, 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, seven of whom are now consultants (six in cardiology). 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). The department’s heart failure services include, a cardio-renal clinic, a hospital based heart failure nurse specialist and a team of seven community heart failure nurse specialists. There is no on-call commitment for this post. ### Detailed job description and main responsibilities The post holder will be encouraged to pursue their own interests in terms of research. Since 2010 Homerton has been contributing to the National Heart Failure Audit Project run by the National Institute for Cardiovascular Outcomes Research (NICOR). Homerton has set up its own systems for the storage and local retention of data (including ethnicity) on in-patient heart failure activity, - from which data uploads are made at appropriate intervals to NICOR. Similar data collection systems exist for other cardiac services and conditions at Homerton. These data have been used for health services research on gender and ethnic interaction in the utilisation of the RACPC, and opportunities exist for extending this approach to the primary / secondary care interface with respect to heart failure services. Other research opportunities relate to the advanced echocardiography techniques available at Homerton, and are not limited to the themes mentioned above. Applicants should have worked in hospital medicine at the appropriate level, and ideally have experience in cardiology. ### Applicant requirements You must have appropriate UK professional registration.
