Description
We are looking for an expert in Heart Failure, with linked skills in
cardiac MRI or complex device implantation. Expertise in
complementary areas such as Advanced Echocardiography,
Inherited Cardiac Conditions, Maternal and Congenital Heart
Disease or Cardio-oncology would be considered. This is a
substantive appointment within a team of 18 full time consultants
working across the organisation.
The Heart Failure service works closely with Kent Community
Health NHS Foundation Trust to deliver comprehensive inpatient
and outpatient services across the region.
Cardiology in East Kent Hospitals is one of the largest services in
the South East, and is the regional heart attack centre for Kent
and Medway, the 7th busiest in the UK.
This is a full-time 10 PA position, with additional sessions according to the post holder’s skill set.
A typical week includes general heart failure and speciality outpatient clinics, multi-disciplinary meetings with acute and community specialist nursing teams. According to skill mix, 2 – 3 sessions in clinical imaging, device implantation, or other linked clinical activity, delivered across all sites, will be expected.
The EKHUFT Heart Failure Service consists of a Lead Consultant (this post) and 7 Heart Failure Specialist Nurses, including independent nurse prescribers. There are strong links with the Kent Community Heath Heart Failure Service, and with inpatient and community rehab services. The Trust has delivered an ambulatory diuretic service for many years, now complemented by a full virtual ward service, including at home diuretics and remote monitoring. The post holder will possess skills to lead these services, and offer development in new areas of growth as we seek to deliver regional services locally, reducing the need for our patients to travel outside the East Kent where possible.
We are one of the largest hospital trusts in England, with three acute hospitals and community sites serving a local population of around 760,000. We also provide specialist services for Kent and Medway.
We’re on an exciting journey of transformation. With a new Medical School at the centre of our community, a focus on research, clinical leadership and making our trust a rewarding and friendly place to work, there’s never been a better time to join us.
Through our Family First scheme we pledge to find roles for partners of consultants offered a substantive post - For more information please visit https://www.ekhuft.nhs.uk/careers/family-first-scheme/
We also offer removal expenses (substantive positions), up to 32 days’ annual leave and active support for study, quality improvement and patient safety work as part of our ‘We care’ improvement journey, and medical education and research.
