Consultant in Pulmonology (Respiratory Medicine)

Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust, Great Britain

This a full time post for a consultant physician in pulmonology. This significant expansion is to both support a change in the acute medical model, and to expand and develop specialist respiratory services. Your role is an integral part of this exciting development. Once we have sufficient numbers we will be aiming to deliver a respiratory in-reach service with less emphasis on acute medicine.

The optimal lung cancer pathway is a key priority and your involvement would be encouraged. We want to develop new pathways and specialist clinics with potential to develop your own interests. There is a plan to develop the respiratory clinic with an expansion to the clinic footprint to support these initiatives. We are also keen to develop care flexibly in line with the growth of more community-based care for chronic conditions. We have a fantastic community-based nursing and physiotherapy team to support these changes, which we view as an integral part of our future service. With our move towards university teaching hospital status, there will be opportunities for research and education activities developing over the next few years.
