Prif ddyletswyddau'r swydd

Will work with a team of 5 other consultant cardiologists at the RGH to support one ‘general cardiology’ firm with appropriate junior medical staff support and will also support an established specialist arrhythmia nurse service.  

The working timetable will involve 1 week in 6 of ‘ward’ work (during which time the appointee will be the consultant responsible for the care of cardiology in-patients and will support referrals from non-cardiologists (with no elective duties during the ‘ward’ week). The other 5 weeks will involve outpatient and largely elective cardiology work dependent on the individual skills and experience of the successful applicant.

Inpatient workload as ‘cardiologist of the week’ is in the order of ~20 in-patients, as well as dealing with in-patient referrals and providing e-advice to GPs. There is currently no formal out of hours and weekend cardiology commitment although this is being reviewed in the light of the new Health Board, however, the Cardiologists currently support weekend acute medical services.  A candidate accredited in acute/general medicine will be favoured and if successful would join the acute weekend rota, currently ~1 in 20 weekends (Saturday and Sunday basis with no acute medicine on calls during the week). During the ‘non-ward’ week the successful candidate will undertake a weekly average of 2 clinics (following standard RCP guidance on numbers per clinic) and 2-3 cath lab-based work (elective and acute).
