The post-holder will contribute to adult cardiac surgical provision within the Trust.
The post-holder will be provided with appropriate office facilities and secretarial support to fulfil this role. This is a replacement post with an established referral base, but the post-holder will be encouraged and supported to develop new referral pathways.
