The department is well-staffed with trainees including 3 specialist registrars, 2 core medical trainees, 2 FY2s and 4 FY1s. In addition, there are 7 nurse specialists across TB, lung cancer and airways disease, and four physiologists who undertake lung function and sleep diagnostic work as well as CPAP set-up clinics.
