Job overview
The Directorate of Respiratory Medicine at WTWA (Wythenshawe, Trafford, Withington & Altrincham) is part of the Respiratory Division (along with the Lung Cancer Directorate). The Directorate provides community-based and secondary care for respiratory patients in the local area. In addition, the Directorate hosts 16 tertiary or national respiratory subspecialty services. The Directorate works in close collaboration with colleagues in the Lung Cancer and Thoracic Surgical Directorate, along with specialist thoracic radiology colleagues.
We provide an on-call service and inpatient care for Respiratory Medicine patients, with 20 clinicians contributing to the on-call rota. There is no requirement to provide secondary care services for general medicine.
The Directorate is made up of several small inclusive subspecialty teams which include a diverse mix of clinicians and allied health professionals. These smaller teams work collegiately and supportively together to provide general respiratory care. There is a wide variation of interests among the Respiratory medical staff, with some preferring a purely clinical role, others taking an interest in leadership and innovation, and some with a wealth of experience and track record in academia. This provides new consultants with an infinite array of choice and post CCT training opportunities to shape their future careers in a nurturing and rewarding environment.
