An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Consultant in Respiratory Medicine with General (Internal) Medicine at University Hospitals Bristol and Weston (UHBW). The main site for this post is Weston General Hospital but as we move to full clinical service integration across UHBW, it is anticipated that there will be some element of cross-site working with Bristol Royal Infirmary (BRI), to be determined through the job planning process.

The successful candidate will develop special interests to extend the spectrum of the respiratory services offered at Weston, and support services currently being developed in the department. The post holder will undertake a total of two general respiratory clinics per week and support the bronchoscopy service.

Applicants must be on the GMC Specialist Register or within 6 months of their CCT, however non-UK applicants wishing to apply for specialist registration could be considered on a fixed term basis. The trust will fully support overseas candidates looking to attain CESR in the UK.

 

As well as joining a welcoming, talented team in a beautiful town, we offer:

Competitive recruitment and retention incentives of up to £15,000 (pro-rata for fixed term posts)

Relocation allowance and support of up to £8000 (in line with Trust Relocation Policy)

We are seeking a Consultant in Respiratory Medicine, also qualified in General (Internal) Medicine, to continue to develop the respiratory service at Weston General Hospital. 

This post will have 10 programmed activities (PA) and will include a total of 2 outpatient clinics per week, seeing both new and follow up patients on urgent and routine pathways. Currently we do not have a lung cancer service based at Weston however this is a service we would like to repatriate from Bristol Royal Infirmary (BRI) once the post holder is established in the role. There is one bronchoscopy session each week which the post holder will have the opportunity to share and will involve the teaching of bronchoscopy to the registrars. There will be an option to negotiate an increase in PA’s to support additional activities, such as research or educational supervision, or if clear evidence is produced that the workload justifies this.

The management responsibility of the post-holder will be to the Clinical Chair who is responsible to the Chief Executive and Trust Board.
