Applications are invited for the post of Clinical Fellow [ST3+ Grade] (Heart Failure)
Applications are invited for the post of Clinical Fellow [ST3+ Grade] (Heart Failure) to commence in the Department of Cardiology at Homerton University Hospital for twelve months in the first instance.
About the Role
The post provides training in specialist heart failure services, in echocardiography, as well as in general adult cardiology. It also involves the post holder in the organisation and running of the weekly departmental educational seminar programme.
Although the post does not have a recognised national training number, it provides the same exposure to, and experience in, cardiology as our numbered cardiology training post. It gives excellent preparation for those wishing to pursue a career in cardiology or in hospital medicine, offering clinical experience, training and the opportunity to undertake teaching, audit & research. The majority of our prior Homerton cardiology clinical fellow post holders have gone on to secure numbered training posts in cardiology, and / or research fellow posts in peer reviewed research programmes funded by charitable grant awarding bodies (such as BHF or CRY) at postgraduate centres (such as UCLH or St. George’s), in the UK, as well as in Australia and Switzerland, seven of whom are now consultants (six in cardiology).
