We are seeking enthusiastic, highly motivated Consultants to join our current Respiratory Medicine team within the Division of Urgent Care. The posts are to support the expansion of the Respiratory department to support an increased throughput of outpatient capacity for general and/or specialist Respiratory clinics; and to allow capacity to develop ambulatory and/or community-based services, establishment of acute clinics and provide support for the new Consultant model for inpatient care.
The Trust is committed to the provision of high quality, Consultant-led Respiratory Services. We would welcome colleagues with any sub-speciality interest especially Asthma and / or chronic Respiratory illness; alternately, we can offer sub-specialty experience / training in any of our established services, suitable for the individual and the needs of our department.

We have an active research programme within the Chester Respiratory Research Unit and the successful applicant will be supported and encouraged to develop clinical research within the department. The department has links with the University of Chester (who will be opening a new graduate-entry medical school in 2023) through the Institute of Medicine and is supported by a significant administrative resource.
The Trust has a keen interest and deep involvement in medical education at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Most of the Respiratory consultants were supported in obtaining and hold a postgraduate qualification in teaching.
Chester is a popular tourist destination, conveniently located for easy access to the beautiful countryside of Wales: with its iconic Snowdonia mountains, with good motorway links to Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham. Chester also has excellent housing facilities and schools, both government and independent.
