About us

The appointee will be expected to undertake audit and quality improvement projects, as well as to attend clinical governance meetings, mortality and morbidity meetings, and regional and national educational meetings. Research activity is required to support the full program of EP/CRM research run at St George's Hospital. This will include running a weekly research meeting, patient‑level recruitment for clinical studies, writing protocols, review articles and published work.

Job responsibilities

The EP team collaborates closely with the world-renowned Inherited Cardiac Conditions & Sports Cardiology teams at St. Georges Hospital, and the successful candidate will be expected to engage actively in this multidisciplinary collaboration. The Inherited Cardiac Conditions service at St Georges Hospital has been in existence since the 1990s and is one of the largest in the country. The service receives referrals from local cardiologists (catchment population over 1 million) and referrals from consultants nationally. It provides an integrated one‑stop assessment from a multi‑disciplinary team in accordance with Chapter 8 of the National Service Framework and aims to evaluate and manage individuals and families at risk of or with established inherited cardiac conditions and other cardiovascular conditions which may predispose to sudden cardiac death. The service focuses on families with unexplained sudden deaths (SADS) and ion channel diseases such as the long QT and Brugada syndromes, and cardiomyopathies such as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and dilated cardiomyopathy. St Georges runs a dedicated sports cardiology clinic in the UK. The clinic is sponsored by the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young and serves the Football Association, Premier Rugby League and Union, the Lawn Tennis Association and the English Institute of Sport. The predominant aim of the clinic is to manage athletes with cardiac symptoms, to differentiate cardiac changes from physiological adaptation to exercise from cardiac pathology and to provide exercise prescription for athletes recovering from a cardiac illness.
