Consultant in Paediatric Respiratory

3 days ago


Manchester M WL, United Kingdom NHS Full time

This substantive post involves working with the general respiratory and cystic fibrosis teams at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital (RMCH), supporting children throughout the Northwest. It's an exciting opportunity to be part of a progressive respiratory department at RMCH, which manages complex respiratory patients within the region and quaternary patients within specific sub-specialties. We specifically envisage that the post holder will contribute to our large cystic fibrosis centre and regional CF care across the North West of England, further developing our hospital as a national and international centre of excellence for CF clinical care and research.

We are particularly keen to attract a clinical academic consultant into our CF team, and have the potential for local funding to replace some of the current job planned clinical PAs with funded research time for up to 3 years. This would support the post holder in applying for ongoing research funding thereafter. We would encourage interested applicants to discuss directly with Dr Shawcross as to the specifics of their individual job plan, if appointed, if this would be of interest.

The job is based on a 10 PA job plan and comprises the following activities:

CF clinics

CF MDT

Respiratory MDTs

General respiratory clinics

Elective bronchoscopy

Hot week ward cover

SPA/admin

MFT is one of the largest NHS Trust In England with a turnover of over £3bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We're creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.

Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 30,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you'll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.

We've also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research, and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our Electronic Patient Record system which launched in September 2022.

We're proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes. What's more, we're excited to be embarking on our Green Plan which sets out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.
