Job summary
Trust Doctor SHO's in Paediatric Cardiology
1x Post starting ASAP.
Posts starting March 2024 *Subject to confirmation of funding*
Great Ormond Street Hospital invites applicants of ST 2-3 level for 6-month posts in paediatric cardiology. The post would be well-suited - but not limited - to junior doctors-in-training wanting to have a period of out-of-programme experience. It may be possible to count this placement towards your training, dependent on the completion of Level 1 curriculum competencies.
Your main role would be to cover a busy general cardiology ward and cardiology day ward. During your time, you would also be encouraged to attend all areas of the unit, including cardiac theatres, the catheter laboratory and echo department. There is a formal teaching programme specifically for SHOs, as well as registrar teaching within the department. There are also several courses available, which may be prioritised and subsidised for GOS staff (including the echo and morphology courses). It is possible for a dedicated trainee to learn the basics of clinical echo during these placements. The position would undoubtedly be useful in preparation for an application to paediatric cardiology training at ST4.
Applicants must be registered with the GMC or eligible for registration.
We would encourage any junior doctor considering a career in paediatric Cardiology, or becoming a general paediatrician with an interest in Cardiology to contact Dr Jacob Simmonds Jacob.Simmonds@gosh.nhs.uk.
