Practising Privileges
We're proud world-leading heart consultants choose to practise across our network of heart clinics and facilities. We know our consultants are the key to our past and future success. In recognition of this we aim to ensure they have the support they need, so they can focus on delivering the highest level of patient care. Our locally-based CQC registered managers, together with our central compliance team, are key to this support.
How to Apply
To apply for practising privileges at Dorset Heart Clinic, you should directly contact the CQC registered manager with your up-to-date CV and an outline of your proposed scope of practice.
Based on your area of cardiac speciality, our managers will be able to guide you further and help facilitate your application.
Applications will then be reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and you will be invited to meet them to discuss your application.
If supported by the CEO, the medical advisory committee, comprising existing consultants, will consider all applications for practising privileges. You will then be sent an application back by our Human Resources department.
Application Process
If your application is successful, our centralised compliance team will assist in the maintenance of your regulatory documentation throughout your time with us.
​
If you choose to practise across more than one facility in our network of heart clinics. Once practising privileges have been granted at one heart clinic, the application for other facilities can be streamlined. This is done by providing only facility-specific documentation along with any regulatory documentation required to be renewed.​
