We are looking for an enthusiastic hard working clinical fellow to join the Respiratory Department at UHS. 

You will join the department with 24 Consultants. We provide care for not only the Southampton population but tertiary care for part of the south coast. We run multiple speciality clinics including lung cancer, severe asthma, pleural disease, ILD, TB, NIV, COPD, bronchiectasis (including PCD and CF). We have regular bronchoscopy as well as endobronchial ultrasound lists and recently set up an IPC service. We look after around 80-100 inpatients spread across 4 inpatient teams as well as a 9 bed High Dependency Unit looking after patients with respiratory failure.

This post is to help provide comprehensive care for inpatient respiratory and general medicine at the level of a Specialist Registrar (post MRCP, ST3 or higher). This involves inpatient ward rounds, outpatient clinics including some subspecialist clinics, attending bronchoscopy lists as well as COPD/ILD/Cancer MDT meetings. You will be expected to see respiratory referrals on other medical/surgical wards. You will be expected to be competent in medical procedures including diagnostic and therapeutic pleural aspirations as well as insertion of Seldinger intercostal chest drains. Level 1 pleural US is a desirable but not essential.
