Drive innovation in healthcare, transform patient outcomes, and advance your career at Macquarie University Health.

Macquarie University Health is seeking an Unaccredited Cardiology Registrar to join the Cardiology team at Macquarie University Hospital. These are early-career positions designed for doctors who intend to pursue a career in cardiology and want to build the core clinical and procedural skill set expected before entering formal advanced training.

The positions serve a dual purpose: providing medical cover for cardiology patients, and supporting broader medical patients across the hospital. During weekdays you will work as the Medical Officer in Charge, providing ad hoc support, advice and supervision to junior medical staff managing medical issues throughout the hospital. On weekends, your focus shifts to medical ward-based duties, including patients in the Coronary Care Unit (CCU).

You will cross-cover cardiology patients alongside the Nepean Network Accredited Advanced Trainee,



which creates structured training and procedural opportunities for both roles. If you are looking for a supportive environment where teaching, supervision and hands‐on procedural exposure are part of everyday practice, we would like to hear from you.

The Role

Reporting within the Cardiology service, the Unaccredited Cardiology Registrar is responsible for the assistance, supervision and provision of high‐quality clinical assessment, management and consultation to cardiology and medical inpatients within Macquarie University Hospital and Macquarie University Health. The role balances cardiology‐specific learning with broader general medical responsibility, and carries a transparent expectation of participation in education, supervision of junior doctors and students, and ongoing quality assurance and improvement.

Key Accountabilities

(Including but not limited to)

- Cross-cover cardiology patients with the Nepean Network Accredited Advanced Trainee, reviewing and managing patients referred to the cardiology service and escalating appropriately to the admitting or on‐call consultant cardiologist.
- Participate in procedural lists across interventional cardiology, structural intervention, and electrophysiology and device work at a level appropriate to experience, including cardiac implantable electronic device interrogation and programming under supervision,



and basic catheter placement during electrophysiology studies.
- Develop transthoracic echocardiography image acquisition and interpretation skills, with teaching from the lead cardiac sonographer.
- Act as Medical Officer in Charge (MOIC) on weekdays, supporting Junior Medical Officers and completing clinical tasks and clinical reviews for assigned medical wards, working closely with nursing, allied health and other medical officers on duty.
- Undertake weekend medical ward-based duties, including CCU patients, and provide timely assessment and initial management of clinically unstable or deteriorating patients, including code attendance in line with hospital protocols.
- Contribute to education, supervision and support of junior doctors in training and students; maintain accurate and timely electronic medical records; participate in formal handover; and engage in quality assurance and improvement activities.

All clinical services are provided within the scope of practice granted by the Macquarie University Hospital Medical Advisory Committee and approved by the Macquarie University Hospital Board, in accordance with Macquarie University Health policies and procedures, the Hospital By‐laws, and contemporary evidence‐based best practice.
