• MRCP or equivalent

An exciting time for a consultant pulmonologist to join one of the top performing NHS Trusts in the UK offering the opportunity for respiratory consultants (either UK based or overseas) to work in a state-of-the-art department and work towards CESR in one of the largest NHS trusts in the country.

WHAT IS THE NHS TRUST / HEALTH BOARD LIKE? 
You will be joining an NHS Trust rated ‘Outstanding’ not once but twice by the CQC and benefit from living and working in and around a beautiful and diverse city.

The NHS Trust is active in research, including the current Covid trials, and the post-holder would be encouraged to take part in its research programme. As a large teaching Trust, the post will also suit those with an interest in medical education and supporting junior doctor training.

WHAT IS THE RESPIRATORY MEDICINE DEPARTMENT & TEAM LIKE?
The successful applicant will join the Respiratory Department at a large Royal Infirmary. 
The posts will involve general respiratory inpatient care; participation in the Acute Medical Unit respiratory in-reach and “Hot” Clinic consultant rotas; sharing a weekly bronchoscopy list; and providing general respiratory and sub-specialist respiratory clinics.  Consultant appointees would also take part in the Acute Medical Take consultant rota. 

The successful applicants will be encouraged to develop sub-specialist services according to her/his interests and expertise. The service can support all Respiratory sub-specialist areas, in particular including Sleep and NIV, COPD, Bronchiectasis and Lung Cancer.

The covid-19 epidemic has required large-scale reorganisation of the work pattern of all the physicians within the Division of Medicine, and so future work patterns may well change. However the essential elements will include:

1. General respiratory inpatient care, at consultant level with supervision of more junior medical staff – including care of general respiratory and respiratory high care patients, AMU in-reach and Hot Clinic cover. These activities are undertaken in rotation with the other respiratory consultants.
2. Physician of the Day cover for acute medical take
3. A shared bronchoscopy list
4. Respiratory clinics – general respiratory and sub-specialist clinics depending on the skills and interests of the appointee.

The appointee will join the Respiratory Consultants and the Multidisciplinary Team in providing high quality care for people with Respiratory conditions and continuing service development.

The Respiratory Department provides a full range of respiratory services to the population of Central and South Bristol and adjacent rural areas (core catchment population approximately 400,000). They also provide regional tertiary services including cystic fibrosis, sleep, domiciliary ventilation, TB management, and complex pulmonary physiology assessment. The pre-covid bed base included two dedicated respiratory wards plus a 14-bed respiratory high care area, fully equipped for acute NIV, and 10 cubicles for Cystic Fibrosis care; however the epidemic has required large-scale reorganisation (including the development of a separate 30-bed covid-19 high care area) and the future configuration of inpatient beds may well be different. There is a dedicated Respiratory Outpatients clinic including five consulting and two treatment rooms, and five respiratory physiology test rooms including an exercise laboratory. A newly refurbished Sleep & home NIV department with 5 consulting rooms and three bedrooms opened in December 2016.

WHAT IS LIFE LIKE IN THE REGION?

This is subject to the integration process and job planning.
