Job description
An exciting oppurtunity has arisen for an ambitious and motivated individual to take part in a fellowship training programme for Structural Heart Dise...
The Structural Fellow will be responsible for the medical coordination of the percutaneous valve program, working closely with the Structural Clinical Nurse Specialists and coordinators. This includes arranging admissions for assessment and treatment, attending a weekly outpatient clinic for patient evaluations, and providing daily ward reviews.
The Fellow will receive training in TAVI and TEER procedures, with potential exposure to PFO closure depending on their level of expertise. Additionally, the successful candidate will be expected to coordinate and conduct research on TAVI and structural heart disease, leading predefined studies in this area. This research is anticipated to result in presentations at national and international conferences, as well as publications in peer-reviewed journals. The Fellow will also maintain and further develop the existing comprehensive database on TAVI patients.
The Structural Fellow's involvement in the coronary intervention service will be determined based on discussions, as priority is given to interventional trainees. However, opportunities may arise to contribute in areas where coverage is needed in the catheterization lab.
For the full range of responsabillities, please review the job description and personal specification attached to this advert that will explain these.
