Applications are welcomed from candidates with CCT (or equivalent) with an interest in Pacing who are on the General Medical Council’s Specialist Register in Cardiology or who will be within six months of obtaining their CCT at the time of interview. In addition, applicants should demonstrate within their application that they are fully trained in general Cardiology, can manage Cardiology oncalls and can perform simple and complex pacing independently. This job is a substantive post.

### Main duties of the job

The appointee will perform first class pacing (simple and complex devices) for elective outpatient cases and urgent inpatients including temporary pacing where required. The candidate will also perform on-calls for Cardiology wards and general cardiology 1 in 10 (with internal cover).

The appointee will cover clinics (general Cardiology & specialty), ward rounds and administration duties and will also provide flexible pacing cardiac catheter laboratory cover. The post will be based primarily at MMUH for ward rounds, pacing cath. lab and oncalls. The Trust has reconfigured its services in preparation for the implementation of the Right Care Right Here Programme and the post-holder therefore is required have outpatient work continuing on at least one of the other sites.

The appointee will take equal responsibility with existing Consultants for the proper functioning of the clinical service, working with clinical and managerial colleagues towards achieving and maintaining national maximum waiting times and developing clinical pathways.
