This post is for an Adult Consultant Cardiologist with an interest in Imaging. Candidates with another sub-speciality interest are encouraged to apply. The post-holder's prime responsibility will be to provide subspecialty skills in cardiac Imaging with a focus on echocardiography and transoesophageal echocardiography. Expertise in stress imaging is preferred. The post-holder would be expected to participate in the supervision of the trusts' dedicated 'valve clinic', comprising a contemporary multidisciplinary one-stop imaging and clinical assessment, and a physiologist-led valve clinic. Experience and accreditation in Heart Failure or an additional modality of imaging is welcomed, with agreements in place to practice cMRI in a nearby trust and/or cardiac CT locally. This will include liaison with regional partners, taking a lead in developing necessary services and patient pathways in consultation with local stakeholders, and endeavouring to meet established National Guidelines. Where appropriate, sessional commitments in other centres can be considered reflecting sub-speciality interest where these align with service development and delivery. Main duties of the job
