Band 7 Inherited Cardiac Conditions Specialist Nurse

We offer cardiac screening for patients affected or at risk of inherited cardiac conditions. The ICC team also has a unique specialty of sports cardiology, providing advice and care to athletes with underlying cardiac conditions, allowing for unique opportunities to learn about the cardiac care of an athlete. This is an exciting time for service development with our team, with ongoing plans to advance our care and the role of the specialist nurse within our service.
With all that in mind I am hoping that you are an experienced cardiac nurse who is interested in advancing their specialist cardiac knowledge or has an interest in inherited cardiac conditions. The post offers an excellent opportunity to develop skills in ECG recognition, arrhythmia and device management, and the expert understanding of ICC's and genomic healthcare. Formal and informal teaching, developing autonomous practice and service development will also be encouraged.
At St George's job satisfaction and professional development is important to us and we have an incredibly supportive team within cardiology to ensure that you develop your skills and career.
I would be more than happy to show you around and go through the job role in more details., This is a fixed term post for 12 months with the potential for substantive recruitment.
