Locum Consultant in Respiratory and General Medicine
Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is appointing a Locum Consultant in Respiratory and General Medicine on a 12-month contract. This is a replacement post to fill an existing vacancy in order to meet the demand of increasing inpatient and outpatient referrals, the growing demand for two-week wait services, and inpatient care, including the provision of a Respiratory Support Unit and CPAP.
Applications are welcomed from candidates with or without General Internal Medicine accreditation. However, applicants who hold GIM accreditation will be expected to participate in the GIM on-call rota as part of the post.
The successful candidate will join a rapidly expanding Respiratory Department. We are seeking an outstanding clinician to complement the current respiratory service, particularly someone with a sub‑specialty interest in airways disease. They will also support inpatient respiratory care on Lamb ward and other wards, including the provision of NIV, and inpatient respiratory consultations.
