Main area Cardiology Grade NHS Medical & Dental: Consultant Contract Permanent Hours Part time - 3 sessions per week (3 PAs per week - Can be split between applicants) Job ref 321-MRC-MS S1

The Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust is one of the largest NHS teaching trusts in the country. It provides a wide range of general and specialist clinical services and is a base for medical education, training and research.
The Trust comprises four hospitals - the John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill Hospital and Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Headington and the Horton Hospital in Banbury.
Our values, standards and behaviours define the quality of clinical care we offer and the professional relationships we make with our patients, colleagues and the wider community. We call this Delivering Compassionate Excellence and its focus is on our values of compassion, respect, learning, delivery, improvement and excellence.
Many of our recruitment programmes use values-based interviewing to identify those who have the skills we seek, who share our values and who are able to deliver compassionate excellence from the outset. We know that this makes a significant difference to your job satisfaction and, above all, the outcomes and experience of our patients and their families.
OUHFT seeks to recruit qualified GPs to be trained to deliver cardiology services as part of a unified team at one of a number of community locations in the region.
The roles are part time, and GP Cardiologists are asked to consider undertaking 1-2 sessions per week (with time off for annual leave, study leave and CPD). Full training will be provided, as will a shadowing programme at OUHFT.
This approach to community cardiology is highly innovative and seeks to integrate primary and secondary care; to make care more accessible and closer to home; to improve patient experience; to improve outcomes and quality of care, particularly via the identification and holistic treatment of risk factors and co-morbid conditions - including mental health conditions - in patients with known or suspected heart disease.
Each clinic will be supported by a healthcare assistant and secretarial support, who will support you with administrative tasks and enhance the patient experience. Consultant cardiologists will act as mentors, and will be available for advice and help when you need it.
The GP will be a substantive employee of Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and will have access to the resources of this tertiary centre cardiology service. It is anticipated that, when trained and where appropriate, GP Cardiologists will be able to refer patients directly for cardiac procedures, including advanced imaging, angiography, cardioversion, ablation and pacing.
Main duties of the job
Integration between primary and secondary care is widely acknowledged to bring advantages to patients and their families through increased accessibility and improved patient experience; to health care economies through enhanced cost-effectiveness and better value; and to practitioners who may experience opportunities for enhanced professional satisfaction.
OUH seeks to appoint several GP-Cardiologists to develop our services to patients closer to home. Our approach to Community Cardiology is to recruit and train a cadre of motivated, high-caliber general practitioners, who are committed to seeking high standards of patient care for those with known or suspected cardiovascular disease, and who are committed to enhancing both the patient experience of care and the value created by the healthcare system.
The aims of the posts are
Detailed job description and main responsibilities The GP Cardiologist will be responsible for assessing, analysing and forming a diagnosis and management plan for patients with known or suspected cardiovascular disease attending the Community Cardiology Clinic.
Assessments will include a history, physical examination and interpretation of an ECG in almost all cases, and may include the integration of data from echocardiography, exercise testing, heart rhythm monitoring, and more specialized imaging, although a provisional report will be provided by the physiologist in all cases.
The GP-Cardiologist will make a diagnosis, and communicate this to the patient and carers / family, and will make recommendations concerning, for example, lifestyle modifications, medications, need for further investigations, and need and location for follow up (whether with own GP, in community cardiology, or in secondary care).
The GP Cardiologist will communicate the outcomes of the consultation to the GP and to secondary care, and will complete all necessary administration relating to the consultation and to the service, including requesting, reviewing and endorsing all results of investigations.
GP Cardiologists will be responsible for triaging all cardiology GP referrals. These may be triaged directly to the community cardiology service, or to specific services within OUH. Where the referral can be managed without a face-to-face consultation, the GP will write to the referring GP with advice.
