About Northern Health:

As an organisation we have a clear focus on how we service and partner with our community, including our strategy of helping the community stay well when at home. Our reputation of community minded, inclusive and progressive is matched to none.

Northern Health is located in the rapidly growing northern suburbs with projected growth the biggest in the state. With a booming, culturally rich and diverse community, and less than an hour's drive from the CBD (still within the bounds of Myki and ride-sharing), Melbourne's North is fast becoming the place to be.

Northern Health are seeking applications from motivated and suitably experienced Junior Medical Staff to join the Cardiology department.

About Northern Health:

Northern Health is the major provider of acute, maternity, sub-acute, mental health, specialist, community and home-based services in Melbourne's rapidly growing outer north.

Services are provided through our five main campuses:

Northern Hospital Epping, Broadmeadows Hospital, Bundoora Centre, Craigieburn Centre, and Kilmore District Hospital. In addition, Mental Health Services are provided at Epping, Broadmeadows, Jacana, Preston, Mill Park and Coburg.

The Role:

An exciting opportunity exists to join the team at Northern Health as an Unaccredited Cardiology Registrar.

This role involves working as a Cardiology Registrar to support the Consultant and Junior Medical Officers in providing care to inpatients and outpatients of the Cardiology Unit. There is an on-call component (approximately 1 in 7) supported by a consultant Cardiologist, Echocardiologist and Interventionlist at all times.

The Northern Health Cardiology Department is one of the busiest departments in Victoria with a general cardiology inpatient unit, heart failure unit and chest pain evaluation unit, as well as a non-invasive diagnostic unit and two cardiac catheter laboratories. The unit has a strong focus and track record in cardiovascular research, with a dedicated cardiology research fellow, interventional fellow, heart failure fellow and electrophysiology fellow.

In the role there will be the opportunity to manage patients with emergency cardiovascular disorders, learn interpretation and performance of non-invasive investigations such as transthoracic echocardiography, and participate in invasive procedures such as coronary angiography and permanent pacing.

To be successful in this role you will have:

• Experience as a registrar and the ability to demonstrate sound knowledge in the management of patients with cardiovascular disorders.
• Proven ability to work up patients with cardiac disease and identify those presenting with potential life-threatening disorders such as ST elevation myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolus and aortic dissection such that early escalation to consultant level can occur.
• Demonstrated willingness to learn and ability to work in a team environment.

If this opportunity sounds like the next step in your career, then we would love to hear from you.
