An opportunity is available for a Respiratory Medicine Senior House Officer to join a supportive medical team providing high-quality care to adults with a broad range of respiratory conditions. This role is suited to a doctor seeking to develop their clinical experience in acute and general respiratory medicine within a well-structured hospital environment.
You will assess and manage patients presenting with respiratory complaints, including acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, pneumonia, respiratory infections, pleural disease and respiratory failure. Responsibilities will include taking detailed clinical histories, conducting examinations, requesting and interpreting investigations, developing management plans and reviewing patients’ progress. You will contribute to ward rounds, outpatient activity, the acute medical take and the out-of-hours service, according to the agreed rota.
The post holder will work closely with consultants, registrars, nurses, physiotherapists, radiographers and other members of the multidisciplinary team. You will be expected to communicate effectively with patients and their families, provide clear explanations regarding diagnosis and treatment, maintain accurate clinical records and contribute to safe discharge planning. There may also be opportunities to assist with procedures such as arterial blood gas sampling, pleural aspiration and chest drain management, subject to appropriate supervision and competency.
Applicants must hold full registration with the General Medical Council and have appropriate UK medical experience, including exposure to acute and general medicine. Previous experience in respiratory medicine is desirable, although applications from doctors with a strong interest in developing within the specialty are welcomed. You should demonstrate sound clinical judgement, effective communication skills and the ability to prioritise workload in a busy setting.
A commitment to teaching, clinical governance, audit and continuing professional development is expected. The successful candidate will be dependable, adaptable and keen to work as part of a collaborative team while maintaining high standards of patient safety and professional conduct.
