Consultant Respiratory Physician
Job overview
We are seeking Respiratory Consultants to join our Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG) and Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH). Our Partnership has significant ambitions and is committed to delivering world-class hospital and community services for the 1.65 million people we serve.
We are looking for dynamic, visionary and hard-working candidates to join our expanding Respiratory Department. We are advertising two full-time posts and plan to develop innovative services to meet future demand for high-quality care for people with respiratory disease in Northern Lincolnshire.
We welcome candidates with sub-specialty interests, particularly those with expertise in EBUS, Lung cancer, Interstitial Lung Disease, Asthma, Sleep Disordered Breathing, NIV, and Pleural Disease. Other potential areas for development include Tuberculosis, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, and Bronchiectasis. However, for a good candidate, other sub-specialty interests may be accommodated.
The successful applicants will have the opportunity to be appointed as Honorary Senior Lecturer at Hull York Medical School (HYMS), in recognition of their contribution to teaching and research.
Main duties of the job
We are seeking to appoint an appropriately skilled and qualified Consultant Respiratory Physician to complement the skills of the 8 existing Consultants in the Trust. The posts carry a commitment to the adult general internal medicine rota (1:12). Procedures activity will be allocated to facilitate the delivery of timely EBUS and Bronchoscopies. In the Diagnostic Investigation Unit, we have developed a thoracic ultrasound service. Clinic sessions with appropriate administration time also form part of the work schedule.
You will be part of a team of 9 consultants responsible for the provision of Respiratory Services across North East Lincolnshire. The Department offers a full referral service for the diagnosis and management of patients with respiratory disease, except for cystic fibrosis. The department has about 100 patients in the Home ventilation programme; we have an Endobronchial Ultrasound System, and the service has been established since January 2020. We aspire to start Medical Thoracoscopy in the near future.
The posts offer teaching opportunities for both undergraduates and postgraduates. The Department is involved in teaching medical students from Hull and York Medical School (HYMS) and has an active programme for training advanced care practitioners in association with Sheffield University.
Working for our organisation
Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust is part of one of the largest acute and community Group arrangements in the NHS, seeing well over one million patients every year and managing a budget of over £1.3 billion.
Made up of two Trusts - Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG) and Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH) - our Group has significant ambitions and is committed to delivering world-class hospital and community services for the 1.65 million people we serve.
Together, we employ nearly 20,000 staff across our five main hospital sites: Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital, Scunthorpe General Hospital, Goole and District Hospital, Hull Royal Infirmary, and Castle Hill Hospital.
As Teaching Hospitals working with Hull York Medical School, we both lead and contribute to research in many areas, including biomedical research, primary care, palliative medicine, cardiovascular and respiratory medicine, vascular surgery, cancer surgery, and oncology.
We believe that by developing a diverse, inclusive, innovative, skilled, and caring workforce, we can deliver excellent care to our patients and a great future for our employees, our Group, and our community.
