Paediatric Cardiac Physiologist

Job Description

IQVIA is seeking a Paediatric Echocardiography Specialist to join its prestigious Healthcare Professionals Network. This is a part-time bank role focused on providing high-quality cardiac imaging across various clinical settings in the North West of England.

As part of this network, you will have the autonomy to choose shifts that fit your schedule while acting as a critical diagnostic link for paediatric patients. You will work with a global leader in healthcare intelligence, ensuring that BSE (British Society of Echocardiography) standards are maintained in the diagnosis of complex paediatric cardiac conditions.

Key Responsibilities

• Paediatric Echocardiography: Perform high-quality transthoracic echocardiograms (TTE) specifically for paediatric patients, ranging from neonates to adolescents.

• Diagnostic Reporting: Deliver precise, timely reports that identify congenital heart defects, functional abnormalities, or post-operative progress.

• Clinical Excellence: Adhere strictly to BSE paediatric protocols and quality standards to ensure patient safety and data accuracy.

• Multidisciplinary Collaboration: Work alongside paediatric cardiologists and nursing teams to provide comprehensive patient assessments.

• Adaptive Practice: Quickly integrate into different clinical environments across the North West, maintaining professional standards and efficiency.

What You’ll Bring

Essential Requirements:

• BSE Accreditation: Current accreditation from the British Society of Echocardiography (ideally with a paediatric specialty).

• Clinical Background: Proven, hands-on experience in paediatric cardiac imaging is non-negotiable.

• Independence: The ability to work as a sole practitioner in various settings while producing high-caliber diagnostic results.

• Communication: Exceptional skills in managing young patients and their families, often in high-stress clinical situations.

Key Competencies:

• Deep understanding of congenital heart disease (CHD) morphology.

• Ability to handle complex diagnostic equipment and reporting software.

• Strong organizational skills to manage a varying caseload effectively.

Why Join the IQVIA Network?

• Flexibility: True “bank” style work—pick the shifts that suit your lifestyle and existing commitments.

• Global Reputation: Leverage the name of a world leader in clinical research and healthcare solutions on your CV.

• Professional Growth: Gain exposure to a wide variety of clinical settings and patient demographics across the North West.

• Network Support: Access to IQVIA’s resources and a community of high-performing healthcare professionals.

The Paediatric Cardiology Landscape (2026)

The role of a Paediatric Cardiac Physiologist is becoming increasingly specialized as diagnostic technology advances:

• The Shift to 3D/4D Imaging: In 2026, 3D echocardiography is more frequently used in routine paediatric checks to provide better spatial visualization of septal defects before surgical intervention.

• Functional Assessment: There is a growing emphasis on Strain Imaging (Speckle Tracking) to detect early signs of myocardial dysfunction in children undergoing chemotherapy or those with chronic conditions.

• Workforce Dynamics: The “Bank” model is increasingly popular in 2026, allowing specialists to mitigate burnout while helping the NHS and private providers clear diagnostic backlogs.
