Trust Registrar in Cardiology

Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

A full-time post as Trust Grade Registrar in Cardiology with a subspecialty interest is available now at the Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals NHS Trust. The unit provides a service covering all aspects of Cardiology and this post will allow some subspecialisation training - but no access to training in coronary intervention.

Main duties of the job

The post-holder will participate in the service's inpatient and outpatient activities. The Registrars operate within a full-shift system with 12 whole-time equivalents. Subspecialty experience will be dependent on the NTN group and availability of opportunities but may include:

1. Transthoracic, stress and transoesophageal echo
2. Heart Failure ward rounds and inpatient care
3. In-house and outreach specialist outpatient clinics
4. MDT meetings (genetics, cardiomyopathy, TAVI etc)
5. EP studies
6. Cardiac CT lists

We endeavour to ensure our trust grade registrars do receive training and experience beyond service provision in an area that will enhance their CV and career development, and facilitate applications for NTN positions.
