About the Role
Canberra Health Services offers an exciting opportunity within a state‐of‐the‐art, fully integrated tertiary cardiology service, serving an estimated 620,000 residents across the ACT and surrounding Southern NSW Local Health Districts. The role is based in a contemporary, high‐acuity service that delivers excellence in teaching, research, service innovation and patient‐centred care. Cardiology services at Canberra Hospital are centred in Building 5, incorporating the Acute Cardiac Care Unit (ACCU), Cardiac Catheter Laboratory (CCL) and specialist outpatient services. The ACCU provides advanced care for patients with acute coronary syndromes, valvular heart disease, heart failure and complex cardiac arrhythmias. The CCL and Cardiac Day Unit deliver a comprehensive interventional and electrophysiology program, including primary PCI for STEMI, complex coronary intervention, electrophysiology studies, catheter ablation, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and implantation of cardiac electronic devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators. The Interventional Cardiology Service performs approximately 900 coronary interventions and 1,800 angiograms annually.
Diagnostic services include a comprehensive echocardiography program (>4,000 studies annually), cardiac CT (in collaboration with Radiology) and emergency echo capability, positioning Canberra as a tertiary referral hub for advanced cardiac diagnostics and interventions. Across both hospital sites, Cardiac Rehabilitation and Heart Failure Rehabilitation services provide continuity of care and support long‐term outcomes for patients living with chronic cardiac disease. Strong research links are maintained with ANU, University of Canberra and Australian Catholic University. A fully equipped medical library is available on site.
The preferred candidate may be considered for a conjoint position in ANU at an academic level commensurate with qualifications and experience. The employee will be responsible to the University on academic matters and to Canberra Health Services for clinical/research matters.
