Description

The successful candidate will be proficient in transthoracic echocardiography and ideally hold an accreditation in either EACVI (Paediatric), or BSE Congenital or equivalent. This role is unique because we will support the successful candidate towards passing their examination and collecting cases for their logbook, to be sat with either the EACVI or the BSE Congenital / paediatric accreditation if not already held. We will fund the accreditation process (the first attempt). Based on the level of experience and accreditation status, we would also consider a Band 6 to be progressed to a fully accredited Band 7 Echocardiographer.

The candidate will support the routine clinical activities such as our busy Outpatient in our one-stop clinic, the inpatient services, or booked outpatient echo service. They will also support the department in other ways as specified in the job description as expected of a band 7 Echocardiographer.
