Diagnostic Cardiology at the West Suffolk Hospital is a kind, dynamic and ambitious growing department, set in the beautiful Suffolk countryside in the town of Bury St Edmunds. There are good transport links to London and Cambridge. The beautiful East Anglian coastline is within easy reach as well as various Area’s of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Our department currently supports 4 STP’s and 3 apprentices so have a wealth of experience in supporting students along different training pathways. Our student mentors are dedicated, supportive and encouraging, helping their mentee’s to reach their full potential. We have a well established Echocardiography service, offering specialist echo including Transoesophageal Echocardiography and Stress Echocardiography. Our invasive services have grown over the last 5 years, offering diagnostic angiography as well as cardiac device implant and follow up. This includes Internal Loop Recorders (ILR), Pacemakers and Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRTP). Across the department, we are developing our Physiologist Led services. There are some aspects of the rotational modules that will require students to be flexible with going to other hospitals to achieve their competencies. We have good working relationships within the region to support this. Our hospital is working towards the development of its Community Diagnostic Centre in Newmarket. When open, some of our ECG and echocardiography may take place there. We are offering an exciting opportunity for an ambitious and dedicated person looking to start their Healthcare Science Career in Cardiology. We look forward to welcoming you to our team!
