This post may vary slightly depending on the skills of applicants and may involve some combination of cardiac rhythm management (devices) and/or EP. Willingness to rotate through, or learn in, more than one area is desirable. You will be contributing significantly to the cardiac physiology service, with some possible cross-site cover at other hospitals required.

BHC is a 10-lab cardiology service with 5 of these operating in devices and EP, and 5 in intervention. We run 6 device follow-up rooms including 4 Physiologist-led specialist device clinics with a view to introduce Consultant Physiologist posts in the future. We have one of the largest remote monitoring services in Europe.

Applicants should be competent in all non-invasive cardiac procedures. You will be expected to demonstrate maturity and experience consistent with this grade to contribute fully to the improvement and advancement of the service.

Applicants who do not have BSc Clinical Physiology degree (or international equivalent) will not be short-listed.
