This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic clinician to help deliver high quality care for Cardiology patients under the care of University of Leicester NHS Trust while sub-specialising in cardiac imaging. The purpose of this post is to offer comprehensive training in cardiac imaging, with a particular emphasis on advanced echo, TOE (including interventional echo/TOE), and MRI. There may be opportunities for Cardiac CT training if desired. The appointee will be strongly encouraged to take part in focused imaging research for which there are ample opportunities. Candidates with a strong research interest are encouraged to apply and the post may be extended with protected research time subject to further funding from the Leicester BHF Centre of Research Excellence. This is a 12 months fixed term contract renewable for up to a further 12 months Full GMC registration with a licence to practice is required. Main duties of the job
Applications are invited to join the University Hospitals of Leicester as a Fellow in Cardiac Imaging. The post would be suitable for trainees who have already completed core training (at least 3 years of General Cardiology) and wish to sub-specialize in Cardiac Imaging. Ideally the candidate would already have some experience in Cardiac Cardiology. It may be undertaken by trainees who are already in a training post (as part of an 'out of programme experience')/ a post-CCT Fellowship. The post is based at the Glenfield Hospital. Glenfield is a modern tertiary cardiac centre. There are 4 cardiac theatres, 5 catheter laboratories (3 intervention, 1 pacing and 1 EP), state of the art non-invasive imaging facilities including cardiac CT, MRI and state of the art echocardiography. The unit provides high volume comprehensive services in coronary and structural intervention, cardiac imaging, pacing, electrophysiology, heart failure, acute general cardiology. and is a very strong research portfolio. About us
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030). We have four primary goals: high-quality care for all, being a great place to work, partnerships for impact, and research and education excellence And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities. Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all: we are compassionate, we are proud, we are inclusive, and we are one team This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.

To achieve this, we need the best staff, the right attitude and lots of energy. Creating a hospital where patients choose to come and where staff want to work is important. We continue to develop our services and are always looking for talented individuals who can add value to the care we provide, grow with us, and share in our on-going success. Job responsibilities

The majority of the week will be spent undertaking diagnostic testing (4-6 sessions per week). There will be no regular ward commitment, but it may be that at times other duties will include the care of in-patients. The fellow will be expect to do 1 out-patient clinic per week.
