Edina Healthcare is seeking a dynamic and motivated BSE Accredited Senior
Echocardiographer to join our team.
The post will support the implementation of our new Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Echocardiogram Service, which we are confident is going to revolutionise echo services across the United Kingdon.
We are the only handheld device with the tools for systolic and diastolic function, pulmonary hypertension, structural heart disease, and valve disease: Continuous-wave Doppler (CW), Pulse wave Doppler (PW), and Tissue Doppler Imaging.
The datasets derived from these modes will be handled and analysed with the Us2.ai software. Images are processed, labelled, measured, and analysed in two minutes; to derive a structure report and editable data annotation. This allows improved workflow and time saving by enabling hospital clinicians and echocardiographers to focus less on the process of measurements and shift the attention to quality and data synthesis for decision making and diagnosis. Hence, improving patient outcomes.
The post holder will work in our hospital clients providing our AI echo service, scanning patients and then reviewing the scans and reports.
We offer a competitive salary of £55,000 - £60,000 a year WTE, plus bonus.
