Respiratory Medicine, Consultant
Luton, England, United Kingdom Temporary Respiratory Medicine Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Total Shifts: 24
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Respiratory Medicine Consultant to join a progressive clinical team. This role offers the opportunity to provide high-quality, patient-centred care across inpatient, outpatient and emergency settings, while contributing to the continued development of respiratory services.
You will assess and manage patients with a broad range of respiratory conditions, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, respiratory infections, pleural disease and sleep-related breathing disorders. Responsibilities will include leading consultant ward rounds, undertaking outpatient clinics, providing specialist advice to colleagues, and supporting the assessment and management of acutely unwell patients. You may also contribute to bronchoscopy, pleural procedures, pulmonary function testing and multidisciplinary team meetings, depending on your areas of expertise.
The successful candidate will work collaboratively with medical, nursing and allied health professional colleagues to ensure safe, effective and well-coordinated care. You will participate in clinical governance, audit, service evaluation and quality improvement initiatives, as well as supporting education and training for junior doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals. There may also be opportunities to contribute to research and the development of innovative models of care.
Applicants should hold full registration with the General Medical Council and be eligible for inclusion on the Specialist Register in Respiratory Medicine, or be within a suitable period of completing the relevant training. You will have substantial experience in managing complex respiratory cases, excellent communication and leadership skills, and a commitment to multidisciplinary working. Experience in a specialist area such as interventional pulmonology, respiratory failure, sleep medicine or lung cancer would be advantageous.
The post includes participation in the consultant on-call rota, with arrangements designed to support safe working and continuity of care. We are seeking an approachable, resilient and compassionate clinician who is committed to professional development and delivering consistently high standards of patient care. Flexible working options may be available, subject to service requirements.
