Consultant Cardiac Electrophysiologist

Responsibilities

• Conduct comprehensive consultations and assessments for patients with suspected or confirmed cardiac arrhythmias.

• Diagnose and manage a wide range of cardiac rhythm disorders, including atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, and bradyarrhythmias.

• Perform electrophysiology studies to evaluate and diagnose complex cardiac electrical disorders.

• Perform catheter ablation procedures, including radiofrequency and cryoablation, for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.

• Manage patients with atrial fibrillation, including complex ablation procedures where indicated.

• Implant, program, and follow up on cardiac rhythm management devices, including pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), and cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) devices.

• Evaluate patients for advanced rhythm management interventions based on clinical indications and evidence-based guidelines.

• Interpret electrocardiograms (ECGs), Holter monitoring, event monitoring, and other cardiac diagnostic investigations.

• Assess patients with syncope, palpitations, and other symptoms suggestive of cardiac rhythm abnormalities.

• Develop individualised treatment plans, including medication management, catheter-based interventions, and device therapy.

• Provide pre-procedural assessments and post-procedural monitoring to ensure patient safety and optimal outcomes.

• Manage complications associated with electrophysiology procedures and cardiac rhythm devices.

• Collaborate with interventional cardiologists, general cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, and other specialists in the management of complex cardiac cases.

• Participate in multidisciplinary cardiac meetings and contribute to the development of clinical protocols.

• Maintain accurate clinical documentation and ensure compliance with relevant clinical standards and patient safety requirements.

• Participate in clinical audits, research activities, and quality improvement initiatives.

• Stay up to date with advances in cardiac electrophysiology, catheter ablation techniques, and cardiac rhythm management technologies.

• Support teaching, training, and mentoring activities where required.

Qualifications

• Recognised specialist qualification in Cardiology.

• Recognised Tier 1 specialist qualification, including ABMS, Canadian Royal College certification, UK CCT/CCST, or an equivalent recognised qualification.

• Advanced fellowship training or specialised qualifications in Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology.

• Minimum 2–5 years of post-specialisation experience in Cardiology, with substantial experience in cardiac electrophysiology.

• Extensive experience diagnosing and managing complex cardiac arrhythmias.

• Proven expertise in electrophysiology studies and catheter ablation procedures.

• Experience with cardiac rhythm management devices, including pacemakers, ICDs, and CRT devices.

• Experience working within a tertiary hospital, specialised cardiac centre, or multidisciplinary cardiovascular department.

• Eligibility for Consultant-level licensing with DHA, DOH, or MOHAP.

Required Skills

• Strong clinical expertise in Cardiac Electrophysiology and Arrhythmia Management.

• Excellent diagnostic, analytical, and clinical decision-making skills.

• Proficiency in interpreting ECGs, ambulatory rhythm monitoring, and electrophysiology study results.

• Advanced procedural skills in catheter ablation and cardiac rhythm device implantation and management.

• Strong knowledge of cardiac electrophysiology, cardiac pacing, and complex arrhythmia management.

• Excellent communication and patient counselling skills.

• Ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary cardiac teams.

• Commitment to patient safety, evidence-based practice, and continuous professional development.
