Part-time/flexible working appointees are encouraged to apply. We would welcome applicants wishing to pursue hybrid posts in Respiratory/Critical care and Respiratory/Acute medicine.
This is an exciting time to be joining us as we have opened our brand new Respiratory High Care Unit at the Grange University Hospital as part of reconfiguring services in both primary and secondary care.
Main duties of the job
The Respiratory Department currently consists of 14 WTE consultants, 7 specialist registrars, and a team of core medical trainees, Clinical Fellows (Pleural, Sleep, NIV, and High Care), as well as a Respiratory Consultant Nurse, Advanced Nurse Practitioners, and Physicians Associates.
