We have 9 substantive Respiratory Colleagues, covering a large catchment area of Southwest London and Surrey. The successful candidate will join a team of substantive & Locum Consultant colleagues (Drs Martinovic, Rahman, Ratoff, Wells, Molanguri, Lawrence, Francis, Manalan)and Specialist Doctor (Dr Khoo). There are close ties between the two sites, including MDT, departmental meetings, audit and shared pathways with specialist clinics (e.g. Pleural Clinic with indwelling catheter insertion service/Cancer/ILD/TB/Nodule).

Main duties of the job
The successful candidate will provide specialist clinical advice in Respiratory Medicine both on inpatients and outpatients management.

All Respiratory Consultants contribute to the General Medical on-call, on a 1:16 rota (at St Helier) or 1:13 rota (at Epsom), with weekday ward rounds performed by the Acute Physicians.

We have an established and thriving Lung Cancer service supported by both hospital sites, with direct input from our Royal Marsden Colleagues in Oncology and Thoracic Surgeons from St George’s Hospital.
St Helier Hospital is also the site of two regional tertiary centres – our Renal Unit and Allergy/Immunology Centre, covering South West London and Sussex/Surrey. This creates a unique environment enabling exciting referrals, optional clinics and opportunities for research.
