Senior Clinical Fellow in Cardiology

The Cardiology department at Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust aims to offer a high quality responsive service to both patients and General Practitioners for the diagnosis and treatment of suspected cardiovascular conditions. Our objective is to undertake locally all investigations and treatments that can reasonably be undertaken in the DGH environment whilst ensuring appropriate access to more specialised units. We keep under constant review the range of activities appropriate to the DGH and update our strategic plan using evidence based guidelines, based on the principle that if it can be done here it should be. The consultant staffing of the department currently consists of 10 cardiology consultants, supported by a team of clinical physiologists and specialist nursing staff., The over-riding purpose is to support the provision of the highest quality patient care through personal actions and continuous improvement.,

• Provision with Consultant colleagues of a service to Sherwood Forest Hospitals, with responsibility for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of illness, and the proper functioning of the department;
• Work with the current imaging Consultants to provide and develop non-invasive imaging services to patients at KMH and Newark hospital sites;

  We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.
We put the patient at the heart of everything that we do and it is our aim to make sure that every patient is treated as we would want a member of our own family to be treated. At the same time, we expect our staff to be caring, kind and courteous to each other and to look out for each other. We believe that we are truly a clinically-led organisation. We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for in the East Midlands for seven years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as 'outstanding' for care and our King's Mill Hospital as the only 'outstanding' NHS-run hospital in the East Midlands.
