Job description

Job responsibilities

This is a full-time 10 PA position, with additional sessions according to the post holders skill set.

A typical week will include 23 sessions of device implantation, together with outpatient, multidisciplinary and other clinical activity reflecting the post holders complementary specialist interest. For a candidate with expertise in heart failure, this may include heart failure clinics and multidisciplinary working with acute and community specialist nursing teams. For a candidate with imaging expertise, it may include cardiac MRI, cardiac CT or advanced echocardiography. The final job plan will be agreed according to the successful candidates skills and the needs of the service, with activity delivered across Trust sites.

There is a 1:9 consultant of the week rota (including weekends), covering WHH and QEQM, and a 1:8 emergency pacing rota.

Cardiology in East Kent Hospitals is one of the largest services in the South East, is the regional heart attack centre for Kent and Medway and the highest volume non-surgical PCI centre in the UK.

The device service is the largest in the region, with physiologists and healthcare scientists managing follow up and troubleshooting of simple and complex devices, as well as a nationally recognised insertable cardiac monitoring service. We implant transvenous and subcutaneous ICD (including use of regional block) and follow up leadless pacemakers (with ambition to implant locally). Conduction system pacing is an area of growth, fully supported by EP equipment and physiologist competency. We can also deliver emergency permanent pacing when needed. There are active device MDMs and ICD screening clinics to troubleshoot, harmonise practice and support growth in novel implant techniques and research participation.

The trust currently has four cardiac catheter laboratories, one at The Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother Hospital (QEQM) and three laboratories (two interventional and recently expanded pacing/EP lab) at The William Harvey Hospital. The QEQM laboratory provides angiography and pacing (including complex CRT and ICD implants) and a local EP/ablation service. The WHH laboratories also provide these services and additionally provides PCI services including the primary PCI service for the whole of Kent and Medway.

The EKHUFT Heart Failure Service consists of a Lead Consultant and 7 Heart Failure Specialist Nurses, including independent nurse prescribers. There are strong links with the Kent Community Health Heart Failure Service, and with inpatient and community rehab services. The Trust has delivered an ambulatory diuretic service for many years, now complemented by a full virtual ward service, including at-home intravenous diuretic therapy and remote monitoring. A post holder with a complementary interest in heart failure will support these services and contribute to their clinical leadership and development. More broadly, the successful candidate will be encouraged to develop services that allow appropriate regional-level care to be delivered locally, reducing the need for East Kent patients to travel outside the area wherever possible.

The trust offers a 24/7 primary PCI service, based at the William Harvey Hospital (WHH) site, on behalf of 1.8 million Kent and Medway residents, with approximately 830 admissions and 650 PPCIs per year on the pathway. We are proud that the BCIS database shows we accept a particularly high percentage of Cardiogenic Shock/OOHCA patients, with adjusted mortality well below expected for this high-risk cohort.

For our local East Kent (>750,000) population we provide 1100 PCI per year in our WHH catheter labs. This includes a rotablation service established in 2016, intracoronary imaging (IVUS/OCT), functional invasive assessment (FFR) and an antegrade CTO programme and Shockwave.

We are regional leaders in Advanced Cardiac Imaging. Our echocardiography (echo), Cardiovascular CT and Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) services are already highly developed. In addition to providing all modes of stress echo and 3D-TOE, Physiologist-delivered stress scanning and Physiologist-led valve clinics are an integral part of our service, and we are a regional training hub for both medical and scientific staff. We work closely with Radiology to deliver high-volume cardiac CT, being early adopters of CT angiography in the assessment of chest pain. Our CMR service currently provides approximately 650 local scans per year with plans to more than double this capacity.

The Cardiology Department offers the expected range of routine non-invasive investigations, including 12-lead ECG, exercise stress testing, 24-hour ECG analysis, event recorders, 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring, tilt table testing, transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography and contrast stress echocardiography - pharmacological and semi supine-bike/treadmill exercise for ischaemia and valve assessment. The specialty is currently exploring options for an exciting expansion of estates and facilities for both invasive and non-invasive sub-specialties.

The Trust has a 24/7 middle grade rota at the WHH.

The department participates in multicentre research across coronary intervention, cardiac imaging, heart failure and cardiac devices.

Teaching is provided by the department for undergraduates from Kings, St Georges Tooting and SGISoM (Grenada). Recent developments include regional SIM training and the first local Regional BSE training day. EKHUFT is linked to Kent and Medway Medical School.

We will work with you to shape the ideal job plan upon successful appointment, and review it with you after three months and then annually so you can keep the perfect fit.

We will also provide the essential resources to support you in your duties, including administrative support.
