Daytime PCI currently takes place during 17 sessions per week including Saturday and is supported by 2 interventional fellows. The 24/7 primary angioplasty service is supported by a cardiology middle grade rota. A rest period will be timetabled on the day following a night on call and for 1 or 2 days following a weekend on call.
