A dedicated healthcare professional with advanced training in congenital cardiology diagnostics, specialising in advanced arrhythmia assessment and management, also developing a comprehensive understanding of cardiac anatomy, with a focus on complex congenital malformations. Experienced in assisting paediatric cardiologists with the cardiac testing required to assist with diagnosis and treatment of patients, and adept at adapting diagnostic techniques to meet the needs of young patients and those with physical or cognitive challenges. Committed to furthering expertise in cardiology diagnostics and contributing to advancements in paediatric cardiac care.
Performed and interpreted a wide range of paediatric cardiac investigations including ECG, holter monitoring, exercise stress tests. Conducted these assessments on inpatients and outpatients presenting with complex cardiac morphologies and rhythm disorders.
Developed specialist expertise in paediatric pacing and echocardiography, actively participating in training courses and conferences to enhance clinical skills and deepen understanding of these key cardiac physiology roles.
Supported elective and emergent intraoperative cardiac catheterisation procedures, ensuring accurate monitoring and reporting.
Provided clinical support to neonatal and paediatric intensive care units for urgent cardiac assessment.
Delivered high-quality, family centred care, ensuring the parents and patients always felt informed and comfortable throughout the tests.
Developed standardised operating procedures for device follow up pathways and accurate measurements in the Cath lab, supporting colleagues in implementing team-established protocols.
Over the past year, I have significantly advanced in my training, taking greater clinical responsibilities I now independently perform weekly remote pacemaker checks and have begun conducting solo echo scans in cardiology clinics and on the ward, with senior support available if required
Assist in the testing and reporting of complex congenital heart conditions in collaboration with paediatric cardiologists to aid them with their diagnosis and treatment
Trained and supported new colleagues in performing a range of diagnostic tests, and how to adapt techniques appropriately for patients from neonatal through to teenage years
