The appointee will join 10 Consultant Cardiac, Thoracic, and Cardiothoracic colleagues and will participate in a 1:6 cardiac on-call rota at Victoria Hospital. A specific aortic on-call rota 1:4 is in place, and the successful candidate will work towards joining this rota.
The successful candidate will join a multi-professional team based at the Lancashire Cardiac Centre, Blackpool Victoria Hospital.

Additionally, the post holder will contribute to both in-house urgent cases and waiting list improvements.
