Eastern Health

Eastern Health is one of Melbourne’s largest public health services. We provide a range of emergency, surgical, medical and general healthcare services and have a proud history of serving a diverse community.

Our Employee Value Proposition is “Being a part of Eastern Health means belonging to a welcoming team of healthcare experts”.

This statement aligns with our promise to our communities, patients, consumers and staff that we will be HEALTHIER TOGETHER. Bolder than a vision for the future, our promise calls us to action. We know that working together is the only way we can achieve what is necessary for a healthier future.

About the role

The cardiology service for Eastern Health is predominantly based out of Box Hill Hospital. The cardiology department there includes an 8-bed CCU as part of a 32-bed ward (2.2) with daily consultant led ward rounds. There are 2 cath labs supporting one of the state’s busiest PCI on call services, cardiac device implant sessions and an EPS service. There is a large non-invasive cardiology service across EH with 8 echo machines, stress echo, TOE, pacing checks, Holter monitoring and tilt table service. We also have a growing CTCA and new Cardiac MRI service run in collaboration with our imaging department. At Maroondah and Angliss Hospitals we provide a consult only service with thrice weekly consultations rounds and 24/7 phone advice. We are accredited with four advanced cardiology trainees, based at Box Hill Hospital.

The role

Applicants are invited to apply to be credentialled as a locum cardiologist with a view to providing backfill of leave for outpatient clinic sessions and possible ward service.
