Cardiac Nurse

Following its opening in 2019, the Peninsula Heart Clinic is an independently operated cardiology centre in partnership with University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust. Treatment at the Peninsula Heart Clinic is delivered through a new, state-of-the-art cardiac cath lab, 5-bed recovery, 5-chair radial lounge, 3 individual ensuite bedrooms and extensive outpatient clinic facilities.

This is an excellent opportunity to join an established team as we grow our service. Working in a purpose-built facility you will be welcomed as an integral part of the team, delivering high quality care to patients in the South West. For a short YouTube clip where you can see the Peninsula Heart Clinic in action we would encourage you to visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9YRIrv1bF4.

Main duties of the job

The post holder will work as part of the Cardiac Care team across all aspects of cardiac nursing care including, ward, POA and assisting

medical staff in the Cath Lab with diagnostic and interventional procedures, angiogram, PCI, pacing and EPS. In this theatre style environment the

nurse/practitioner will have both scrub and circulating duties. There is a requirement to wear a lead PPE during any procedures in the Cath Lab.

You will be required to promote and maintain a caring and highly professional standard of nursing, meeting the needs of the patients pre and post cath lab procedures.
