The job is primarily EP Lab-based with one clinic per week (and occasional extras) and specialist EP ward referral duties. The aim is to gain experience in complex ablation (e.g. atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia), developing competence as a solo operator and prepare for a consultant role.
