This role has arisen from a collaborative working agreement between NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and Pfizer to improve the care of patients with cardiac amyloidosis. Amyloidosis is a rare, multisystem disease associated with high symptom burden, poor quality of life and reduced life expectancy.

Importantly, there are increasing novel treatment options for patients with amyloidosis. Patients with suspected cardiac amyloidosis are to be diagnosed promptly and managed through multidisciplinary teams delivering high quality specialised care as close to home as possible.

The MDT Coordinator/ Administrator will work with the Multi-Disciplinary Teams to ensure the service is well structured, runs effectively and that all patients are treated and discussed according to evidence based protocols.
