Cardiac Physiologist Specialising in Pacing and Cath Lab
We are seeking an enthusiastic and highly motivated Cardiac Physiologist specialising in Pacing and Cath Lab to join our friendly and dynamic team at Bedford Hospital. The successful candidate will play a key role in delivering high-quality patient care and contributing to the continued growth and development of our Cardiology service.
Our service provides a comprehensive range of invasive and non-invasive cardiac procedures, including Primary PCI, elective PCI using advanced technologies such as Shockwave, IVUS, iFR, and FFR, bradycardia pacemaker implantation and follow-up, remote monitoring, cardioversion, exercise tolerance testing, tilt table testing, and ambulatory monitoring (Holter, BP, and loop recorder monitoring). Our Cardiac Centre has two catheterisation laboratories, including a newly developed state-of-the-art facility.
We have an excellent reputation for supporting the education, training, and professional development of Cardiac Physiologists. This role offers the opportunity to share specialist expertise, support colleagues, and contribute to a positive learning environment.
While specialist pacing and cath lab experience is essential, we encourage our physiologists to expand their skills across other areas of cardiac physiology. We are committed to supporting ongoing training, development, and career progression.
