Locum Consultant Cardiologist in Adult Congenital Heart Disease
An opportunity has arisen for a locum Consultant Cardiologist in Adult Congenital Heart Disease to work within the University Hospital of Wales and across the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board and South Wales network. This is a 9-month fixed-term full-time post which will complement the present team of 19 ‘in-house’ Clinical Cardiologists delivering tertiary cardiac services of the highest standard to a population of 1.3 million people.
About the Role
This service works on a hub and spoke model with Cardiff and Vale UHB acting as the level 2 hub with identified links into Bristol and outreaching to each Health Board across South Wales.
Although this post is full-time, consideration will be given to applicants who require flexible working arrangements.
Key Responsibilities
- Work collaboratively with consultant colleagues to deliver the Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) service across the designated hospital sites, providing specialist assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management of adults with congenital heart disease.
- The majority of the post holder’s time will be spent in assessing and treating patients with ACHD.
- There may be an opportunity to use the 2 specialist interest sessions to help develop an area of expertise, aligning with service requirements accepting that options may be limited given the confines of a 9-month post.
- A commitment to general cardiology could be supported, subject to further discussion.
- The appointee will be expected to support the expansion and strengthening of the ACHD clinical network and develop close links with colleagues at the level 1 centre in Bristol in the diagnostic and treatment planning facilitated through the MDT process.
