Interventional Clinical Fellow

The Interventional fellow will be involved in coronary intervention and will be trained in PCI during the tenure of the post. He/she will undertake PCI lists with consultants and gain experience in complex PCI and adjunctive technology. The appointee will be expected to contribute to PCI-based research. This will involve data collection, provision of information to patients, acquisition of informed consent and assisting during research study cases. In this capacity, the fellow will become familiar with data acquired with IVUS, virtual histology, OCT, pressure wire and quantitative coronary angiography. The fellow will also be expected to undertake his/her own projects in interventional cardiology during the tenure of the post and there is a comprehensive database and computer/library facilities to assist in this regard. There will be protected research time in the weekly schedule. Much of the week will be spent in the catheter lab and the fellow will also undertake high volume invasive diagnostic work. The successful candidate will do one outpatient clinic per week. The post is ideally suited to a trainee who is fully competent in diagnostic angiography and is in the early phase of training in PCI. He/she will participate in the frequent national training days that are held in the department. The department also holds frequent Live Case days for a variety of meetings. There is no on-call commitment with this post, although this may be arranged by mutual agreement.
