Gillingham, Kent, United Kingdom Medway NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Position Overview

Lead Respiratory and Sleep Physiologist

Division: Medicine & Emergency Care

Care Group: Specialist Medicine

Band: 6

Salary Range: £35,392 - £42,618 per annum/pro rata

We are seeking a Lead Respiratory and Sleep Physiologist to join our dynamic team, committed to delivering the Best of Care by the Best People. This role is pivotal in ensuring that our Trust remains the preferred choice for both patients and staff.

Key Responsibilities

This position encompasses a diverse range of responsibilities, where you will conduct both routine and advanced Respiratory and Sleep Physiology diagnostics and therapies. Your expertise will be utilized at Medway Maritime Hospital and across two Community Diagnostic Centres. A strong background in Respiratory and Sleep Physiology is essential, along with a BSc in Clinical Physiology/Healthcare Science or a comparable qualification. Eligibility for AHCS/RCCP registration is required, and holding Registered Polysomnographic Technologist (RPSGT) or Registered Sleep Technologist (RST) credentials is advantageous.

Our core values are Bold, Every Person Counts, Sharing and Open, and Together. It is crucial that you embody these values throughout your application process and your tenure with the Trust.

We are dedicated to promoting diversity, multiculturalism, and inclusion; our policies ensure equitable treatment for all applicants at every stage of the recruitment process.

About Us

At Medway, we take pride in our collaborative approach to achieving our shared vision of Better, Best, Brilliant. Our culture and values are the driving force behind our organization.

We offer a supportive environment for those looking to advance their careers in a progressive setting.

Interested in flexible working? We recognize the importance of work-life balance and are committed to accommodating flexible arrangements that suit both our patients and our staff.

Our employees enjoy a variety of benefits, including access to a gym, a comprehensive health and wellbeing program, an on-site nursery, and a cycle-to-work scheme.

We actively seek to attract, recruit, and retain top talent and encourage applications from under-represented groups to support our commitment to a diverse and inclusive workforce.

All staff at Medway adhere to the Trust's and the Kent and Medway Safeguarding Board's policies regarding the safeguarding of children, young people, and vulnerable adults.

Job Duties

The successful candidate will provide specialized clinical physiology expertise in respiratory and sleep services, ensuring optimal care principles are upheld for patients at Medway Maritime Hospital and the Community Diagnostic Centres.

Flexibility in working hours is essential, as the role may require day and night shifts based on service demand, including responsibilities across multiple locations.

Training will be provided as necessary in each area of expertise.

Responsibilities include performing a variety of basic to complex respiratory assessments, such as full lung function testing (Spirometry, static lung volumes, and gas transfer), bronchodilator reversibility testing, FENO, and the 6-minute walk test. You will provide comprehensive technical analysis and reporting of results for medical staff, aiding in patient diagnosis and treatment.

Additionally, you will independently conduct a range of routine and complex sleep studies, contributing to the diagnosis and management of patients with sleep disorders, including overnight oximetry, actigraphy, limited polysomnography, and overnight polysomnography studies with MSLT as required. Full interpretation and analysis of sleep studies will be expected.

You will also guide patients on CPAP usage, set up CPAP therapy, and manage follow-up consultations for patients with OSA and OHS through New Patient and Annual Review Clinics.

Monitoring patients during overnight polysomnography studies is crucial, ensuring the quality of recordings for accurate analysis, and making necessary adjustments to equipment during the study.

It is essential to assess the severity of results, promptly informing medical staff of any life-threatening or urgent findings, and adhering to established procedures for managing urgent and non-urgent results.

Responsibilities also include maintaining the cleanliness and functionality of all sleep equipment, promptly reporting any issues to the relevant departments.

Assessing investigation requests for contraindications or risks and evaluating patients' fitness for testing is a key aspect of this role.
