Job Opportunity: Respiratory Medicine Consultant
We are pleased to advertise two full-time (10 PA) substantive Respiratory Medicine consultant posts with unselected general medicine on-call (excluding acute cardiology and stroke) at Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, based across Wycombe Hospital and Stoke Mandeville Hospital. Part-time working will be considered.
About the Role
The successful applicants will join a team of eight enthusiastic, forward-thinking Respiratory Consultants. We are seeking colleagues with strong teamwork skills and a passion for lung and pleural cancer diagnostics, including bronchoscopy, pleural procedures, MDT input, and outpatient care, including our new lung screening service.
Post 1 following a colleague’s retirement, supports the lung cancer service. We welcome applicants with skills such as radial EBUS, pleural biopsy, IPC placement, and thoracoscopy; training can be supported by current consultants and Interventional Radiology.
Post 2 supports our Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) service, which works closely with Oxford University Hospitals in a hub & spoke model. We aim to repatriate more ILD care locally and expand community-based management.
Candidates with specialist interests are welcome to discuss how their skills may fit within the department. Leadership development/involvement in teaching medical students and junior doctors are encouraged.
Contact Information
For further information or to arrange a visit, please contact Dr. Abi Jackson (abigailjackson@nhs.net) or Anjani Prasad (Anjani.prasad@nhs.net), Dr. Anjani Prasad, Lung Cancer Lead.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Achievements
The Respiratory team won the Trust award of Acute Healthcare team of the Year; and the Consultant Lead won the Trust Leadership award in 2021.
Team and Environment
We are looking to expand to provide training for our formal Respiratory Specialist Unit for NIV, which is in place now; to aid our admission avoidance service; and to support respiratory outpatients. All applicants within 6 months of CCT at interview date are welcome and all other subspecialist interests would be considered, and mentored. Less than full-time working will be considered and welcomed.
The Respiratory Team has approximately 45 inpatients. 2 consultants run the 2 wards on rotation. 3 registrars and 2 IMT from the HETV/Oxford rotation and 9 juniors support the wards. We provide COPD and COVID early supported discharge.
We have weekend daytime on-call for the respiratory wards giving 7/7 Respiratory cover; and take part in the acute general medicine on call during the week. There has been a large investment in Acute Medicine with a reconfiguration of the urgent care pathway, and appointment of new Acute Physicians. Sub-specialty outpatient clinics exist for lung cancer, pleural, cough/airways and TB. We work very much as a team of consultants with MDT meetings, and have a commitment to teaching all grades of doctors.
