What’s life like in an NHS Respiratory Department?
Respiratory medicine in the NHS is typically a hospital-based specialty. Hospital wards are busy and varied, a third of all acute medical admissions to hospital are the result of respiratory problems. Some Respiratory physicians choose to practice general medicine, and others maintain a focus on acute respiratory medicine.
Respiratory physicians in the NHS will work closely with colleagues in the hospital’s intensive care unit (ICU), as well as across all other specialties. Assessing patients in outpatients’ clinics is an important part of NHS jobs. There are two types of clinic: general respiratory clinics and specialist clinics. Respiratory physicians also run lung function laboratories in NHS hospitals and some respiratory units specialise in areas such as lung transplant, sleep-related medical problems or cystic fibrosis.
Specialist respiratory clinics in the NHS deal with a range of problems including:
- cancer
- tuberculosis, or TB (a bacterial lung disease)
- cystic fibrosis (an inherited condition that causes a sticky section that can affect the airways often causing infection)
- interstitial lung disease (scarring of the lung tissue between and supporting the air sacs)
- chronic cough
- sleep disorders relating to breathing, eg obstructive sleep apnoea
- pulmonary vascular disorders (affecting the blood circulation of the lungs)
With such a broad range of job plans and career directions available, the NHS is an excellent place for pulmonologists to secure a job and grow their career in respiratory medicine, whilst working in internationally recognised institutions.
