About us
Harefield Hospital’s Acute Cardiac Care Unit is a 40 bedded specialist cardiac centre caring for people who require cardiac investigations and interventions such as Angioplasty (Primary and Elective), Electrophysiology studies, TAVI, Ablations and Pacemakers/Devices. We also care for patients who have heart failure and those requiring end of life care. Our primary angioplasty service is one of the busiest in the country and we pride ourselves on the aftercare provided to patients following their MI.
The ward has two Practice Educators who provide excellent support and training. Each member of staff benefits from in-house training days and has the opportunity to apply for post graduate courses. The ward also benefits from input from specialist nurses, who are an excellent source of information, as you develop your knowledge.
Cardiothoracic experience is not required as there will be opportunity to gain skills and knowledge under the guidance of our Practice Education teams, ward mentors, and nursing development team.
Hours of work are weekdays/nights/weekends
