The intern will be supervised and work on a daily basis with the cardiology team. The successful candidate will benefit from both a busy and dynamic clinical environment and formal training. Interns participate in hospital rounds, journal clubs and are encouraged to attend continuing professional development sessions provided by senior members of staff. There will be out of hour’s responsibilities on a one in four basis working with the on call clinicians.

Candidates must have an enthusiasm for the discipline, an ability to work as part of a dedicated team.

This internship will be ideally suited for someone with previous general practice experience and some experience in cardiology, including echocardiography. Successful candidate must have good written, verbal communication, interpersonal and organisational skills.
