During an exciting time of expansion for respiratory medicine within the Trust, we are looking to appoint a Consultant to help expand the department to 11 WTE consultants and develop further services currently provided by the Trust. The post involves out-patient and in-patient duties and a regular commitment to 7 day working. We are looking for but not limited to an individual with an interest in TB and Bronchiectasis, with a commitment to working alongside existing Consultants to develop both services. We would also consider alternative sub speciality interest.
The respiratory medicine in-patient bed base is now on one site. We have introduced a respiratory weekend rota with a respiratory Consultant present every weekend. Overnight on-calls are now part of a Respiratory rota, separate from GIM. Applications are encouraged from all consultants wishing to take up a new challenge or newly accredited consultants who will be supported through our highly regarded development programmes. The post holders will be encouraged to develop his/her own sub-specialty interests.

With this modernisation there are future opportunities for research, development in this rapidly developing field of medicine.
