Summary
During an exciting time of expansion for respiratory medicine within the Trust we are looking to appoint one Consultant to help expand the department and consolidate the services currently provided by the Trust. The vision is to expand the department to 11 WTE consultants. The posts involve out-patient, in-patient duties and a regular commitment to 7 day working. We are particularly looking for an individual with an interest in Ventilation & Sleep medicine, with a commitment to developing a sleep service locally. There would also be an opportunity with both these two posts to support our current TB service as well. There are also plans in place within the department to develop an acute respiratory care unit.
This is a full-time post providing 10 Programmed Activities (PAs), but applicants wishing to work part- time are also encouraged to apply and job plans will be adjusted accordingly, and by negotiation with appointees.
The respiratory medicine in-patient bed base is now on one site. We have recently introduced a respiratory weekend rota with a respiratory Consultant present every weekend. Overnight on-calls continue as part of the general medical on calls to ensure frequency of on calls is manageable. Applications are encouraged from experienced consultants wishing to take up a new challenge or newly accredited consultants who will be supported through our highly regarded development programmes. The post holders will be encouraged to develop his/her own sub-specialty interests.
Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust is an exceptional place to work with many amazing teams of hard working and dedicated staff, delivering high standards of patient care. We have made significant changes in the way we work to meet the challenges of the changing NHS, and were rated by the Care Quality Commission as Good in June 2018.
Calderdale & Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust is at the forefront of the digital health revolution. With the launch of a full Electronic Patient Record in 2017 the Trust started on its journey to be the safest, most efficient and patient centred trust in the NHS. EPR is part of an ongoing project to develop a digital ecosystem within the trust to become a truly paperfree organisation. With this modernisation there are future opportunities for research, development in this rapidly developing field of medicine. Through working at CHFT you can be part of this innovative area aiming to bring safer and more effective care to our patients.
Our Future Plans

The Trust wishes to ensure that Consultants have time in their job plan to undertake Supporting Professional Activities which underpin and maintain high quality patient care. The Trust Board and Local Negotiating Committee have agreed that a Core allocation of 1.5 SPAs should be allocated to undertake CPD, appraisal, clinical supervision, audit and clinical governance, mandatory training and the general management of the service. Objectives should be agreed at the Job Plan review
meeting with regards to this SPA.
