Job description

Job responsibilities

The first six months in post will be focused on becoming independent at the more basic cath lab procedures and CRM device follow-up.

The second six months will concentrate on more advanced CRM device follow-up and cath lab procedures with a view to joining the on-call service by the end of the first year in post.

All physiologists working within EP/CRM are actively encouraged and assisted to undertake BHRS and/or IBHRE exams and are fully supported with their PDP. We are extensively involved in device trials and research, including becoming the first UK centre to implant the leadless Empower pacemaker in 2022.

CRM device follow-up at UHS incorporates all aspects of post implant care including onsite and remote follow-up of adult and paediatric/ACHD patients. Devices followed-up range from simple ILRs through to CRT-Ds and subcutaneous ICDs. We have the largest CIED remote follow-up population in the UK.

Device implants in the cath lab include ILRs; pacemakers (including leadless and conduction system); ICDs (transvenous and extravascular); CRT-P/Ds (CS and endocardial LV leads); complex paediatric/ACHD implants and pulmonary artery monitors. The CRM physiologists also support the regional lead extraction service and surgical epicardial device implants.

We have 5 dedicated cardiac catheter laboratories (with two specialising in CRM). There are five Consultant Electrophysiologists (plus two visiting Consultants from other Trusts) and four Heart Failure Consultants, all of whom implant complex devices. As such, the CIED patient population is set to continue expanding rapidly over the next few years.

Other cath lab procedures at UHS include all aspects of coronary diagnostic and interventional procedures (including 24/7 primary angioplasty), in addition to other emergency procedures such as temporary pacing and pericardiocentisis. We also perform an extensive range of diagnostic EP studies and ablations; heart failure diagnostics and structural intervention including TAVI, MVR, and TVR. We are very fortunate to be one of only a few select centres in the UK to perform paediatric diagnostic and interventional procedures, in addition to ACHD patients.

The post will be particularly suited to PTP students that have enjoyed their cath lab and CRM time on placement and would like to focus on these areas of cardiac physiology post qualification with a view to progressing quickly.

Part-time applicants are welcomed and will be looked at on an individual basis.
