{"interviewQueryText":"What are some good interview questions in British English for the job description below?\n\n-------------------------------------------\n\nChief Cardiac Physiologist (Echocardiography) with East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust in Ipswich\n\n An exciting opportunity has arisen for two full time band 7 chief cardiac physiologists specialising in echocardiography to join our dynamic and hardworking team of cardiac physiologists and clinical scientists here at the Ipswich Hospital. Our echocardiography team are based at the Ipswich Hospital and cover a range of diagnostic tests for both outpatients and inpatients. We provide a comprehensive range of tests including adult transthoracic echocardiography, physiologist-led valve clinics and exercise echocardiography lists, and consultant-led dobutamine stress echocardiography and transoesophogeal echocardiography lists. The department operates Monday to Friday with the potential to undertake weekend overtime work where available. The majority of our full-time staff complete their hours over 4 days during the week working between the hours of 8am and 6pm. We can discuss the working pattern of the successful candidate prior to starting with us. This is an exciting time to join the department as we are currently having our cardiac catheter labs refurbished in order to improve the care we provide for our patients. As part of this, we are expanding the PCI and pacing therapies that we are able to offer our patients including more complex PCI procedures and CRT-P/conduction system device implants which will allow patients to be treated locally. The key duties of the role are outlined below. o To independently and competently perform a range of clinical procedures safely and appropriately in accordance with local and national policy, procedure and guidance. o To interpret clinical data, produce factual reports and deliver results to other medical professionals. o To contribute to the department training and education programmed and implement changes to practice/service provision in liaison with the principal/deputy principal cardiac physiologists. o To work within trust and external professional standards of proficiency and be able to practice safely and effectively whilst maintaining legal and ethical boundaries. About us We are also looking to start the process of obtaining BSE departmental accreditation which successful candidates would be expected to support. We work alongside a great team of consultant cardiologists and cardiac nurse specialists who are approachable and supportive. Ideally we would look to recruit individuals who hold BSE level 2 accreditation in adult transthoracic echocardiography. However, for the right candidate who does not currently hold BSE accreditation, we would be willing to consider a band 6 progression post where we would support you through your BSE accreditation process. Although full-time work would be preferable, we can also consider part-time hours for the right candidate.
