Join to apply for the Respiratory Physiologist role at Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust.
The Respiratory Laboratory Department, based in the QEH Medicine Directorate at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, provides a clinical service on three major Hospital sites – QEH, Queen Mary’s Hospital Sidcup CDC, and Eltham Community Hospital CDC. The service is also establishing a community-based service.
You would have the opportunity to help provide a high quality, appropriate and effective specialist respiratory test service performing a full range of lung function tests, Sleep Studies, and CPAP setups for outpatients, providing technical reports and interpretation where appropriate. You will be responsible for the efficient organisation of the department at all times in conjunction with and in the absence of the Band 7 Physiologist. This role would also provide you with the opportunity to rotate through each site.
An opportunity has arisen to join our Respiratory Physiology department. We are looking for a skilled and enthusiastic respiratory physiologist to join our busy and evolving service.
Our trust currently has two physiologists based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital. We are also in the process of recruiting a team of ARTP trained HCAs that perform basic respiratory tests for our community-based diagnostic services and are working towards developing a band 4 junior physiologist post within our team.
We are looking for a highly motivated individual who wants to excel professionally and is committed to providing a high-quality service. You must have the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
This exciting new post will be based predominantly in our new Eltham community diagnostics hub, although there will also be the opportunity for regular cross-site working. The successful candidate will be required to work autonomously and be responsible for the day-to-day running of a lung function and sleep laboratory within the diagnostic hub.
