Applications are invited to apply for the Consultant in Respiratory Medicine posts at East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust.
You will be joining a team of 6 Consultants, 1 Respiratory Nurse Consultant, 7 Nurse specialists (sleep, lung cancer, NIV), in-patient Respiratory practitioner team, fully equipped Respiratory Physiology department and staff, and a dynamic, rapidly evolving department, reconfiguring to allow targeted sub-specialty work and a 7-day respiratory service across the region.
Applicants will have extensive General Respiratory experience with expertise in Pleural, ILD, Allergy or Lung cancer. Applicants with any sub-specialty interests are welcome and will be accommodated. Applicants interested in Respiratory Medicine with interests in Intensive care, Infectious diseases or acute medicine will also be welcomed.
We have weekly EBUS and Pleural lists (including IPC insertion). The role will include covering the acute ward as well as the in-reach service. There has been a recent substantial increase in the number of respiratory nurses to support both inpatient and outpatient respiratory service. The sleep and domiciliary NIV service is one of the largest in the country and, following a successful business case recently, has seen an expansion in the staff supporting this large service.
We are one of the largest hospital trusts in England, with three acute hospitals and community sites serving a local population of around 700,000. We also provide specialist services for Kent and Medway.
We’re on an exciting journey of transformation. With a new Medical School at the center of our community, a focus on research, clinical leadership, and making our trust a rewarding and friendly place to work, there’s never been a better time to join us.
Our large district general hospitals, specialist units, and community sites provide a vibrant and diverse working environment with the extensive opportunities and teaching facilities you would expect of a large trust.
We also offer up to 32 days’ annual leave and active support for study, quality improvement, and patient safety work as part of our ‘We care’ improvement journey, as well as medical education and research.
