Cardiology wards to get new equipment
Tuesday 30th September 2008
Three cardiology wards and a coronary care unit in Leeds General Infirmary are set to receive new monitoring equipment, people seeking UK cardiac jobs may be interested to note.
As part of a £500,000 investment programme, health bosses at the medical centre are replacing old equipment with new technology, the Yorkshire Evening Post reports.
According to a paper produced by Stacey Hunter, cardio-respiratory directorate manager, the monitors which are due to be replaced are more than ten years old.
She said: "This poses a significant risk to the directorate's ability to provide an appropriate level of cardiac monitoring for the patients and could compromise patient care and safety unless it is replaced."
In other news, it was recently revealed that cardiac physiologists may soon be able to benefit from having access to a virtual reality heart as a means of perfecting surgical techniques.
Produced by researchers at Glassworks in collaboration with University College Hospital London, the cyber heart will be used in medical research and training.
