The post-holder will contribute to the Sleep and Ventilation service, based at Charing Cross Hospital (CXH) at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust. 

The Imperial Sleep and Ventilation Service is based at The Charing Cross Hospital.  The refurbished diagnostic centre re-opened in 2019 and includes a purpose-built sleep laboratory with access to the following tests:  respiratory polygraphy, transcutaneous CO2 measurement, capillary and arterial blood gas analysis, actigraphy, polysomnography, and multiple sleep latency tests.  We carry out 160 outpatient sleep studies and 52 inpatient sleep studies per month.  We issue at least 16 CPAP devices per week and follow up at least 90 CPAP patients per week.  We liaise closely with community and inpatient respiratory and oxygen teams and attend monthly MDT regional oxygen MDT meetings for patients picked up in the community with type 2 respiratory failure.   The service is currently supported by 1 respiratory consultants, one consultant clinical scientist, and three physiologists; one band 7, one band 6 and one band 5.  We currently run 6 sleep clinics per week as well as a weekly home NIV clinic. The sleep service lead is Consultant Clinical Scientist Dr Gill Twigg.

The post-holder will also contribute to the acute medical take at CXH and participate in the respiratory ward consultant rota, which includes the care of patients with acute primary respiratory failure requiring non-invasive ventilation on the recently-refurbished Acute Respiratory Unit at CXH. 

This post, therefore, represents an opportunity to deliver excellent care to patients with respiratory disease, including sleep and ventilation conditions, in a specialist centre, supported by a well-established multi-disciplinary team.  It would be suitable for both a post-CCT candidate looking to develop as a consultant in a supportive team or for a more established consultant looking to move to a larger organisation.
