Summary
This B7 Adult Respiratory Physiotherapist post is based in the respiratory centre (TRC) within University Hospital Southampton. The centre was set up to help reduce the number of people who need to be admitted to hospital, reduce length of stay, and improve care for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and lung diseases, including difficult asthma, allergies and interstitial lung disease. This involves a large clinically-based multi-disciplinary team. This post is suitable for an experienced Band 6, or current Band 7 Physiotherapist, with experience in the management of patients requiring long term ventilation, and knowledge of respiratory triage, assessment and treatment. Some of this work is community based, so the ability to drive, or travel independently, carrying and fitting equipment, is an essential part of this role. The respiratory clinics run on weekdays, however our overall therapy service is a 7-day service and includes working on weekends and bank holidays, so flexibility is required to cover rosters. If you enjoy working in a team, treating experience with complex respiratory conditions, have a passion for research and keeping up-to-date with the use of new technologies, then we would love to hear from you. Please contact Denise.Gibson@uhs.nhs.uk for further details and with any questions you may have. Please note: Any applications written and generated by AI may not be shortlisted.
