Specialty Doctor - Cardiology

Now is an exciting time to join the Cardiology team at Scarborough Hospital. We are undergoing a major new-build project to re-provide its Acute, Urgent & Emergency Medical facilities & we are looking for Specialty Doctors to work with our existing team.
Work has almost completed on a £47M upgrade of our hospital set in the heart of historic seaside town of Scarborough on the beautiful Yorkshire Coast. The new facility is not a new A&E. It is a multi-function clinical space that enables the delivery of our innovative Acute Medical Model (AMM); a pioneering new approach to the delivery of urgent and emergency care which is due to open in October 2024.
Not only that, our new unit will house a state of the art Critical Care & Medical Level 1 space on the floor above (which includes coronary care) & this, along with other major site improvements already underway, will transform acute care on the Yorkshire coast. We serve the local population as well as the high numbers of holiday makers that flock to the east coast year after year., As a senior level doctor within the Cardiology team post holders will be expected to be the responsible for dealing with acutely unwell patients, supervising and supporting junior staff and advanced clinical practitioners, and helping to coordinate the flow of patients in the department (with the support of the Consultant Cardiologist of the Week).
The rota is compliant with the new Specialty Doctor contract and offers a minimum of 1.25 PA per week of protected core SPA time some of which is worked flexibly. Quality improvement projects and adopting a lead role within the department will be encouraged.
We have an established CESR programme in place and successful candidates will be able to apply for a place in the programme as they become available and subject to satisfactory review after one year in post., We are holders of the Gold Award from the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme, which is helping actively promote SaBRE - Supporting Britain's Reservists and Employers. This means that York Teaching Hospital has provided its statement of intent to support all Defence personnel and we welcome their application to work for us.
