Locum Respiratory Consultant with an interest in CF and Bronchiectasis
Respiratory Medicine at Leicester Hospitals has a national and international reputation for its academic and clinical services.
We are looking to appoint a locum consultant for 12 months to work as part of a CF/Bronchiectasis/PCD MDT comprising 5 Consultants, 2 Registrars, a ward‑based team of residents, 1 CF ACP, 2 CF Specialist Nurses, 2 Bronchiectasis Specialist Nurses, 1 PCD Specialist Nurse, 5 Specialist Physiotherapists, a CF administrator, a PCD administrator, a CF Specialist Pharmacist, a Specialist Psychologist, a Specialist Dietician, a linked CF Diabetes Nurse Specialist, a Consultant Microbiologist, and a dedicated PA to the Consultants.
We pride ourselves on being a patient‑focused, holistic, and innovative team. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to help shape the future of the CF/Bronchiectasis service and undertake projects aimed at service development and quality improvement.
Although previous specialist experience in CF/Bronchiectasis would be ideal, it will be possible for us to provide an opportunity for the successful candidate to train and develop skills in this area. We are primarily looking for an applicant with enthusiasm, a willingness to work as part of an MDT, and a passion to develop and deliver high‑quality services to our patient cohort.
* Deliver clinical services to patients with cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, and primary ciliary dyskinesia through inpatient care, specialist outpatient clinics, and ambulatory care.
* Work closely with the wider CF/BE/PCD MDT.
* Deliver clinical sessions to support the management of general respiratory patients.
We manage 5 base respiratory wards (134 beds), some with sub‑specialty interest including pleural disease, cancer, and cystic fibrosis. There is also a dedicated ward for non‑invasive ventilation and we are currently exploring the development of a respiratory support unit (RSU).
