Consultant in Respiratory Medicine

We are looking for an enthusiastic candidate ideally with an interest in pleural disease and Lung Cancer to develop and expand our Ambulatory Pleural Services within the Respiratory department and Ambulatory Care Unit (ACU). This will also incorporate pathways for suspected pulmonary embolism. (S)he will also work with the Lead Lung Cancer physician to implement the National Optimal Lung Cancer Pathway (NOLCP) and act as the cover physician when the Lead is absent. The post holder will work one session a week as an Acute Medicine Physician. A dedicated SDEC (Same day emergency care unit) and PACU (planned ambulatory care unit) have been operational since 2020. The Respiratory Physicians do three clinics a week (2 pleural and 1 Respiratory Hot clinic). These deal with patients referred urgently from the Emergency Department and particularly those with pleural effusions. There is also a pathway for ambulatory management of suspected pulmonary embolism (PE). Both pathways require an enthusiastic physician to lead and develop these further. Here at George Eliot, our vision to 'excel at patient care' takes centre stage. An ever-evolving clinically-led acute service provider, we are on a journey to continually provide high quality, safe and responsive health services delivered by inspiring and compassionate staff who share our corporate values.
