Senior Clinical Fellow in Cardiology | Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust

An exciting opportunity has arisen to appoint to a junior / senior clinical teaching fellow post within Cardiology. This is a 12-month fixed term post which is split 50/50 between clinical cardiology and undergraduate teaching.

The post is ideal for those who have completed their foundation years training and are looking to further develop their clinical experience in cardiology as well as having dedicated time to develop and deliver undergraduate teaching in cardiology to students from UCL Medical School.

The clinical commitments include ward work under the supervision of a consultant and ward registrar. This would include the management of patients with cardiac disease in a busy district hospital. There is no on call commitment with this post.

The Royal Free represents the largest stand-alone PCI in London with off-site surgical cover provided by surgeons at Barts with whom there are strong links including a regular JCC meeting. There is a full invasive and interventional programme including diagnostic angiography

The Royal Free is one of the designated London centres for the National Pulmonary Hypertension service particularly specialising in the treatment of patients suffering from scleroderma-associated pulmonary hypertension. There are strong links with the academic department of rheumatology. In addition, a unique cardiac clinic has been developed for patients with Carcinoid, in conjunction with Royal Free national centre for the management of neuroendocrine tumours (Prof.Caplin). A joint appointment exists between cardiology and the National Amyloid Centre. There are strong clinical and academic links with clinical biochemistry as the Royal Free is a designated centre for the management of familial hyperlipidaemia (Dr Nair).

The clinical commitments include ward work under the supervision of a consultant and ward registrar. This would include the management of patients with cardiac disease in a busy district hospital. There is no on call commitment with this post.

The remaining 50% of the time would be dedicated to delivery and further development of the cardiology teaching programme for UCL medical students under the supervision of undergraduate teaching leads. This includes the delivery of formal and informal teaching, development of the timetable and the opportunity for audit / QI projects in teaching.

This post has not been recognised for training by the Deanery.
