As an organisation we have a clear focus on how we service and partner with our community, including our strategy of helping the community stay well when at home. Our reputation of community minded, inclusive and progressive is matched to none.

Northern Health are seeking applications from motivated and suitably experienced Junior Medical Staff to join the Cardiology department.

Northern Health is the major provider of acute, maternity, sub-acute, mental health, specialist, community and home-based services in Melbourne's rapidly growing outer north.

About the Role:

An exciting opportunity exists to join the team at Northern Health as an Unaccredited Cardiology Registrar.

This role involves working as a Cardiology Registrar to support the Consultant and Junior Medical Officers in providing care to inpatients and outpatients of the Cardiology Unit.

The unit has a strong focus and track record in cardiovascular research, with a dedicated cardiology research fellow, interventional fellow, heart failure fellow and electrophysiology fellow.

• Experience as a registrar and the ability to demonstrate sound knowledge in the management of patients with cardiovascular disorders.
• Proven ability to work up patients with cardiac disease and identify those presenting with potential life-threatening disorders such as ST elevation myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolus and aortic dissection such that early escalation to consultant level can occur.
