Barts Health NHS Trust and St Bartholomew's Hospital invites you to apply for this exciting opportunity to join the wider Electrophysiology team
The Electrophysiology department is the biggest in the UK and one of the biggest in Europe. Electrophysiology along with Interventional cardiology make up one of the three directorates within the Barts Heart Centre at St Bartholomew's Hospital. The Barts Heart Centre is the biggest in the UK with its complement of 10 catherisation labs (5 of which are dedicated to EP) and 10 cardiothoracic theatres
St Bartholomew's Hospital is one of a group of hospitals - Barts Health NHS Trust - the group providing a huge range of clinical services to the population of East London, the City of London, and beyond.
The Trust is also proud to be part of UCLPartners, Europe's largest and strongest academic health science partnership. The objective of UCLPartners is to translate cutting edge research and innovation into measurable health gain for patients and populations through partnership across settings and sectors, and through excellence in education.
This appointment is for a substantive Consultant Electrophysiologist with a defined sub specialty interest based at St Bartholomew's Hospital. There will also be outpatient clinic responsibility at UCL Hospital.
The appointee will join the existing team of consultants to provide specialist care to patients, while supporting clinical/laboratory research as part of the division's commitment to the goals of the Barts Heart Centre and St Bartholomew's Hospital. The appointee is also expected to raise the departmental profile through teaching and education.
The appointee will be expected to be an independent operator for simple and complex ablation of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, and be fully familiar with the use of 3D mapping systems. The successful candidate will also be expected to be an independent operator in device implantation including cardiac resynchronisation therapy.
A major expectation of this new post is a desire to lead a subspecialty service within the electrophysiology department, aiming to deliver the goal of 'world class' in that field through clinical excellence, research and training. The field can suit the applicant's area of expertise but would need to align with the department currently. Good examples are; ventricular tachycardia, cardiac device therapy, complex atrial arrhythmia or inherited arrhythmic syndromes. This list is not exhaustive.

A formal job plan will be agreed between the appointee and Clinical Director, on behalf of the Medical Director. Time off in lieu will be given where applicable.
