Consultant in Cardiology

We have been assigned by one of the UK's most prestigious NHS Trusts to help recruit a Consultant in Cardiology on either a Substantive or NHS Fixed Term basis for 12 months to join their successful Cardiology department.

Our client is one of the leading interventional cardiology units in the United Kingdom, with a national and international profile for service, innovation, and research. They serve a regional population of 2.8 million in Yorkshire and perform over 1,000 primary PCI procedures annually, with around 2,300 PCI procedures in total. The trans-catheter valve intervention service, led by a renowned consultant, performs approximately 400 TAVI procedures annually. A percutaneous mitral valve leaflet repair service is established and has recently received NHS commissioning approval.
