Join to apply for the Consultant in Respiratory role at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
There is one substantive consultant post available to join the existing team of fourteen NHS consultants, one Clinical Professor and two nurse consultants. This dynamic academic respiratory unit provides opportunities for sub-specialty development, respiratory-related research, and medical education, with close links to the Norwich Medical School.
The department is integrated with the department of thoracic surgery and has state of the art facilities for radiology, lung function and bronchoscopy.
We are looking to expand the number of respiratory consultants at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital. We would consider applications in any sub-specialty, but would particularly welcome expertise in sleep and ventilation, cystic fibrosis, tuberculosis, or asthma.
A candidate who is unable for personal reasons to undertake the duties of a whole-time post will receive equal consideration. We are specifically looking for a consultant with experience in sleep medicine and non-invasive ventilation to join our existing team, the role also including duties in general respiratory medicine.
All consultants, including the new appointees, will be expected to be involved in implementing the Trust’s Clinical Governance programme. This includes active participation in clinical audit, quality, clinical guidelines/pathways, professional development, appraisal and risk management.
The appointee will be a member of the Consultant Staff Committee and be expected to serve on this committee.
The appointees will share office space, band 3 and band 4 admin staff with other consultant colleagues in the Department of Respiratory Medicine and will be mentored by one of the existing Respiratory consultants.
