Detailed job description and main responsibilities
The post has been accredited by the Royal College of Physicians; the applicant will receive the same training and experience in line with existing specialist registrar training in Respiratory Medicine. The posts would ideally suit someone who has completed the PACES examination, either SpR in respiratory medicine level or IMT grades with some experience in Respiratory Medicine and wishes to look at developing a sub specialist interest in pleural procedures and pleural disease. However, this is not essential and the work commitments of the team will be reviewed and adjusted to that of a more junior or more senior level but both of the potential job timetables provide excellent experience in Pleural Respiratory Medicine.
You will be expected to participate in the acute general medicine on call rota.
