Job Overview
Applications are invited for an enthusiastic, motivated, and committed individual to join our friendly and dynamic team within the Respiratory Directorate at Aneurin Bevan University Health Board. Part-time/flexible working appointees are encouraged to apply. We would welcome applicants wishing to pursue hybrid posts in: Respiratory/Critical care and Respiratory/Acute medicine.
This is an exciting time to be joining us as we have opened our brand new Respiratory High Care Unit at the Grange University hospital as a part of reconfiguring services in both primary and secondary care.
Main Duties of the Job
The Respiratory Department is currently composed of 14 WTE consultants, 7 specialist registrars, and a team of core medical trainees, Clinical Fellows (Pleural, Sleep, NIV, and High Care), as well as a Respiratory Consultant Nurse, Advanced Nurse Practitioners, and Physicians Associates. We currently have EBUS, Thoracoscopy, and Bronchoscopy services, as well as Respiratory Ambulatory Care and ambulatory Pleural service.

We are looking for individuals able to run subspecialty respiratory medicine for a population of over 600,000. We wish to develop existing specialist services including lung cancer and pleural medicine, asthma, NIV, ILD, and Sleep services, and develop closer links with the palliative services to develop end-of-life care and anticipatory care planning within our Health Board.
