Senior Clinical Fellow in Coronary Intervention

Job summary

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our team as a Senior Clinical Fellow in Complex Coronary Intervention. The post is intended for a candidate who is already competent in PCI and looking to enhance their skills with a view to a consultant position in complex intervention following the fellowship. The post is full time and fixed term for 12 months at the Liverpool Heart & Chest Hospital. This is an exciting time to join the Medicine Division at Liverpool Heart and Chest as the extensive cath lab refurbishment programme draws to a close and the addition of a 7th cath lab is complete.

Main duties of the job

The post is full time at the Liverpool Heart & Chest Hospital. The successful applicant will work under the supervision of the 11 interventional cardiologists at the trust and also for the joint appointees. There will be exposure to all aspects of clinical cardiac intervention, with a focus on complex intervention. Outpatient work will involve general cardiology and pre-assessment for day-case PCI. The appointee will be jointly responsible for management of patients transferred to the LHCH with acute coronary syndromes and take part in the primary PCI programme.

The successful candidate will receive intensive training in all aspects of interventional cardiac intervention including rotablation, lithotripsy, LASER atherectomy, IVUS, OCT, pressure wire, embolic protection, thrombus aspiration and coronary sinus reducer. They will participate in the hospital's CTO programme. It is anticipated that suitable candidates would be independent operators in all but the most complex cases certainly by the end of the twelve-month post.

There will be regular emergency cover as part of the cardiology SpR rota which will be closely supervised by consultant staff.

There will be a commitment to contributing to the rota for ACS PCI weekend lists alongside the on-call interventional consultant. This is separate to the on-call commitment and will provide a valuable training opportunity.
