We welcome applications for an enthusiastic colleague to work alongside the seven current Respiratory Physicians in the Somerset Lung Centre at Musgrove Park Hospital, Somerset NHS Foundation Trust. Our areas of expertise include complex airways disease, sleep and ventilation, lung cancer and pleural disease including advanced diagnostics (EBUS and thoracoscopy), interstitial lung disease and integrated care via our Respiratory@Home service.
We actively encourage colleagues to develop sub-specialist services according to their interests. Clinical research activity is supported in the department, as are medical education, quality improvement and leadership roles. The Trust has a reputation for being a friendly and supportive organisation. We have an excellent track record for teaching and training, receiving consistently excellent feedback from the GMC Trainee Survey. We are privileged to live and work in a beautiful part of the country with excellent schools, competitive house prices and stunning scenery on the doorstep.
The Respiratory Team currently contribute to the general medical take rota, with respiratory medicine accounting for more than 20% of acute admissions. We provide a consultant-led weekday review service for inpatient referrals on Acute Medical Unit and other wards. This promotes early access to respiratory expertise. We aim to provide high quality, safe patient care, excellent patient experience and outcomes with low length of stay.
