Along with the other Consultants in the Respiratory Unit, the appointee is expected to provide an in-patient and out-patient respiratory medicine and bronchoscopy service. At present the Department is going through a process of examining how best to configure the Respiratory service as part of Trust-wide changes in the delivery of non-elective care this may lead to some changes in work patterns for all consultants within the department, including the provision of ambulatory services and community clinics and reconfiguration of respiratory wards. Junior support on the respiratory wards at University Hospital is currently area-based, with juniors divided into teams, each covering specific ward areas to improve continuity of care and breadth of experience.
