The post will involve a commitment to respiratory inpatient care, bronchoscopic and pleural lists and respiratory outpatient care with an opportunity to develop a sub-speciality interest in one of sleep medicine, Interstitial Lung disease or community respiratory care.

Sessions will be provided for patient-related administration and supporting patient activities. Successful applicants will be encouraged to develop a sub-speciality interest that complements the existing team.

Currently the Respiratory Physicians participate in a respiratory on call rota (currently 1:9 weekdays and 1:10 weekends). Upon appointment of a new colleague via this post the rota would become 1:10weekdays and 1:11 weekends.

All new colleagues can expect to receive a warm and friendly Wirral welcome from the very first time they make contact with us. We are described as “competent and caring staff” by our patients.

In practice this amounts to 0.5 PA a week and the expectation, therefore, is that the routine week will consist of 8 PA’s allocated to direct patient care and 2.0 PA for supporting professional activity.

On call duties involve daytime ward rounds of the respiratory ward. Consultants are expected to take phone calls during the day and evenings, which would attract a 3% uplift.
