Dorchester DT JY, United Kingdom Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Full time £43,000 - £75,000 per year

The Department of Respiratory Medicine is seeking a senior respiratory clinical physiologist to join our friendly multi-disciplinary team and help deliver a comprehensive respiratory diagnostic service for our catchment population in Dorset.

The successful candidate will be currently working as a Respiratory Clinical Physiologist and have at least 2-3 years experience at this level. You should hold a BSc in Respiratory Clinical Physiology, Biological Sciences or an equivalent qualification. The possession of relevant professional qualifications (for example, ARTP part 1 and 2 or practitioner level examination) or working towards achieving these is highly desirable. You should be AHCS registered or at least be eligible for registration.

The department provides a broad range of respiratory physiological measurements including Full PFT's (currently using Jaeger RDX equipment including whole body plethysmography), FeNO and exhaled CO monitoring, field walk tests, arterial, venous and capillary blood gas measurements and interpretation, shunt fraction tests, CPET, skin prick testing, methacholine & hypoxic challenges and oxygen assessments. Training and support will be given to the right applicant if they are not fully competent in performing the diagnostic tests that will be part of their duties.

We also provide a sleep diagnostic and CPAP service in partnership with another Trust and so experience of performing and knowledge of analysing respiratory polygraphy sleep studies and CPAP would be an advantage, but not a major requirement of this role and further training can be provided.
