Job overview
The cardiology department is staffed with energetic, forward-looking cardiologists, and we’re looking for someone similar to join our team.

We are looking for a dynamic individual with a commitment to supporting the regional electrophysiology service based at Castle Hill Hospital. Part of this role will include device implantation and candidates proficient in the implantation of complex devices are particularly welcome. The post will attract 10 PA’s – with a minimum of one full day in the cath lab as well as 2 weekly clinics.
