Trosolwg o'r swydd

Ideally, we are looking for a locum respiratory consultant, initially on a one year fixed term contract with potential to convert to a substantive and would support development of any sub-specialist interests. We have a large Integrated Respiratory team and given our successful bid of £1.2 million have expanded our respiratory virtual ward and work very closely with our extensive and experienced award winning Acute Integrated Respiratory (AIR) nursing team. However, the job is flexible and the department would support applicants who wish to develop or join other subspecialties, for example TB. We have one of the highest TB incidence areas outside of London and run a busy NHSE funded latent TB new entrant screening programme. We were also one of the initial pilot sites for Lung Cancer Screening, with this now being rolled out nationally, interest and development within this service would also be supported, as well as ILD as prescribing of anti-fibrotics is expected to extend to spoke sites. The roles are based at Wexham Park Hospital with Respiratory clinics largely held at King Edward VII Hospital in Windsor. The departments are hugely supportive and happy to support new CCT holders in gaining skills and experience to help with future substantive applications. Ideally applicants would be able to start in October 2025, but later and earlier start dates would be considered.
