Job responsibilities
Admission avoidance clinics
Patients known to the respiratory consultants /CNS will contact the team when they are unwell. These patients may have complex respiratory infections, airways disease, or interstitial lung diseases. They will be booked to attend the respiratory SDEC where a clinician will assess them and discuss with the respiratory physician of the day.
Pleural clinic
Patients presenting to A&E/GP with a new unilateral pleural effusion will be seen directly by a member of the respiratory team. After a thorough history and examination, a thoracic ultrasound will be performed. When there are no contra-indications, a diagnostic pleural aspiration will be performed the same day. Patient will then be appointed to the correct follow-up pathway.
Ambulatory primary spontaneous pneumothorax management
Patients presenting to A&E with a spontaneous primary pneumothorax will be directed to the respiratory SDEC for their management. We plan to implement an ambulatory chest drain pathway for patients requiring intercostal drainage but well enough to be managed in an ambulatory setting. The clinical fellow will have the opportunity to participate in setting up this pathway and evaluating its implementation.
Pathway for faster diagnosis of lung cancer
Patients presenting to the radiology/A&E department with chest x-ray findings suggestive of a lung malignancy will be directed to the respiratory SDEC.
They will be seen directly by a member of the respiratory team, the correct investigations (CT chest, diagnostic aspiration, bronchoscopy, PET, EBUS) organised and prompt follow-up in the lung cancer clinic will be arranged.
Earlier intervention with the correct test means patients are diagnosed earlier and are therefore fitter for treatment. This is increasingly important with newer anti-cancer treatments such as immunotherapy and targeted therapy.
We expect to develop further ambulatory respiratory care pathways as the service develops.

Job description
Job responsibilities
Internal applicants should note that this opportunity will be offered on a secondment basis. Before applying, internal colleagues must discuss the opportunity with their current line manager to confirm whether they can be released from their substantive role if successful.
Release to undertake a secondment is not automatic and must be agreed between the colleague, their current line manager, and the recruiting line manager.
Please note: This role does not meet the minimum criteria for visa sponsorship under the current UK immigration rules, which set specific salary and skill thresholds. As such, we are unable to provide sponsorship for this post. Applicants will therefore need to already have the right to work in the UK to be considered. We include this information at the outset to provide clarity and avoid unnecessary inconvenience for applicants.
If you do not meet the sponsorship requirements, and you are applying using a Graduate visa as your right to work, you must have a minimum of 18 months remaining on your visa at time of application.
