Consultant Physician with an interest in Respiratory Medicine

We have been assigned by one of the UK's more prestigious NHS Trusts to help them recruit a Consultant Physician with an interest in Respiratory Medicine on either a Substantive or an NHS Fixed Term basis for 12 months to join their successful Medicine department.

Our client are an acute hospital with many community supporting functions across the Fylde Coast and wider Lancashire. Our trust sits within the town Centre itself close to the picturesque Stanley Park and within walking distance of the town centre. There are a number of wards within the acute hospital setting dedicated to Respiratory, however the Trust will also have a number of outliers across other medical wards in the hospital. We also have a rehabilitation hospital based in another seaside resort of St. Annes on the Sea. The Trust has recently approved the development of a dedicated NIV and Medical High Care Unit (MHCU) alongside our recent acute Respiratory Assessment Centre (RAC) and an Ambulatory Care service including Hot Clinics and a dedicated Pleural Diseases service. The Trust is currently developing its Emergency Department and introducing a Same Day Emergency Care Unit (SDEC).

Our client will now be developing a new NIV and Medical High Care Unit (MHCU) and support for our dedicated acute Respiratory Assessment Centre (RAC) and an Ambulatory Care service including Hot Clinics. The department is fast growing and there are plans in place to recruit additional nursing and support staff as part of the expansion. There is scope for any of our successful candidates to develop their own area of sub-specialisation. Current interests within the department include Lung Cancer, Sleep, NIV, Pulmonary Hypertension, Pleural Disease, TB, Interstitial Lung Disease Bronchiectasis, Asthma and Cystic Fibrosis. However as we are developing the NIV and MHCU we are looking for candidates that have the skills to assist with the development of the service. Their team operate an on ward off ward rota across 3 wards (Wards 5,7 and 10) which allows the Consultant pairings to cross cover and therefore protect their new, FT and MDT clinics which has proved to be very successful. Their respiratory department is also nationally recognised in contributing to national Research trials, which is supported by a very active research department. The successful appointee will be asked to undertake various duties, which will include:

Our client's location is truly a unique blend of rural countryside with quiet market towns and rolling fields along with shopping and nightlife of a cosmopolitan city with excellent public and private schools within the catchment area. With current motorway and railway links to big cities such as Sheffield, Liverpool & Birmingham. With an excellent international airport near the trust, this is truly an excellent location with the best of both worlds.
