Locum CONSULTANT PHYSICIAN IN RESPIRATORY MEDICINE with an interest in Pleural & Lung Cancer

Applications are invited for a locum consultant post in Respiratory Medicine with special interest in Pleural & Lung Cancer at the University of Leicester NHS Trust.

This is post will allow the Trust to continue to develop its respiratory services.

Clinically, we have specialist services in lung cancer with advanced bronchoscopic and pleural techniques, chronic suppurative lung infections, Cystic Fibrosis, TB, domiciliary ventilation, airways disease,interstitial lung disease, exercise and sports medicine. The unique Leicester cardio-respiratory emergency streaming pathway has been operational since 2013 and enables patients in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland to be assessed at Glenfield Hospital by the cardio-respiratory teams.

Main duties of the job

All patients are assessed in the Clinical Decisions (CDU) and Coronary Care Units (CCU) following referral from GPs, 999 ambulances and the Emergency Department. CDU is the largest single cardio-respiratory receiving unit in the UK taking 50+ patients, on average, daily. 70% of our attendances are direct from primary care. Supporting this emergency workload we developed ambulatory care services for pulmonary embolus and pleural disease. We manage 5 base respiratory wards (129 beds) each with a sub-specialist theme comprising a short stay unit (ward 20), non-invasive ventilation (ward 15), cystic fibrosis and chronic suppurative lung disease (Ward 16), TB and higher dependency (ward 17) and pleural disease and cancer (ward 29).

Academically we have close links with both the Universities of Leicester and Loughborough. We host the NIHR Leicester Respiratory Biomedical Research Unit, the East Midlands Breathomics Pathology Node (EMBER) and are a core component of the Leicester Cancer Research UK Thoracic Oncology Centre. Respiratory Medicine also has a large teaching portfolio and the post holder will contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate training.

Glenfield Respiratory services have a proven track record of innovation and the post holder will be expected to lead the on-going development of services.

About us

Our new strategy, 'Leading in healthcare, trusted in communities' was developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners and is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).

We have four primary goals:

high-quality care for all, being a great place to work, partnerships for impact, and research and education excellence

And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:

we are compassionate, we are proud, we are inclusive, and we are one team

This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
