The directorate is currently seeking clinical fellows to join our paediatric cardiology services at the Royal Brompton Hospital, where the successful candidate(s) will benefit from experience at this world-renowned specialist centre and the wider educational and training opportunities provided by being part of one of the UK's largest NHS trusts.

The team also works across the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), performing non-invasive procedures and consultations with the PICU medical team.

The duties involve participation in a clinical rota that includes supporting outpatient clinics, ward rounds, care on the paediatric day case unit, and attendance at multidisciplinary meetings.
