This is an exciting opportunity for an SHO position in an internationally recognised hospital. We are a regional centre for cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery, and a national centre for adult heart and lung transplantation. We are located on the outskirts of London, UK, and have a well‑established and large primary PCI service supplying a wide region, including some of west London, and a number of the counties bordering London.

The post-holder will have exposure to almost all aspects of adult cardiology including new advancing technologies, managing both cardiology in‑patients and out‑patients, with educational, research and audit opportunities.

This post may close early if a sufficient number of applications have been received.

The appointee is expected to undertake the admission and day‑to‑day care of cardiology patients. This includes a number of patients admitted for short‑term investigation and also patients requiring longer term treatment. Emergency cases are admitted daily incorporating all aspects of tertiary centre cardiology.
