Respiratory Medicine

Consultant in Respiratory Medicine - NHS (United Kingdom)

Main duties of the job

WHAT YOU'LL DO

The post holder will be joining the Respiratory Team which currently consists of five Respiratory Consultants. Our service on the Kent/ London borders is rapidly developing and expanding to meet the needs of significant increases in the local population. We are keen to recruit an enthusiastic colleague to join our cohesive group of Respiratory consultants. We are an experienced group of clinicians able to provide substantial support and guidance to new consultant colleagues as required.

We are in the process of developing a number of areas of respiratory practice which allows new colleagues to have the opportunity to develop and lead new services if they wish to do so.

We have adapted throughout the Covid-19 epidemics to meet changing demands and currently deliver care to a 31 bedded respiratory ward with a 6 bed hyper acute unit. In the interim, we have commenced weekend respiratory cover which has reduced the GIM on-call commitment.
