Overview

This Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust’s Cardiology Junior Clinical Fellow post is primarily located at Hammersmith Hospital. The Cardiology Department at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust provides a tertiary cardiology service for the London North West Region. A full range of cardiac services are provided including coronary care unit, cardiac catheterisation with complex coronary and structural intervention, complex pacing, electrophysiological studies and ablation, syncope services, advanced echocardiography, cardiac MRI, CT and nuclear imaging. The department also includes a tertiary Pulmonary Hypertension service. We maintain a 24/7 primary angioplasty and primary arrhythmia service. 43 cardiology consultants work at the trust across various cardiology sub-specialties.

Responsibilities

• Day‑to‑day management of patients on the Hammersmith Hospital cardiology wards (coronary care unit, cardiology ward, heart assessment centre, cardiac day ward, cardio‑geriatrics ward) under Consultant supervision.

• Procedural skill development including central line insertion, arterial cannulation in unstable patients, ultrasound‑guided vascular access, and echocardiography. Those without previous echo experience may complete FEEL accreditation under consultant supervision; those with experience may begin a British Society of Echocardiography logbook.
