Overview of post

This post will provide sub-specialty experience in Lung Cancer, advanced diagnostic & therapeutic bronchoscopy (including EBUS, navigational bronchoscopy, cryotherapy/APC), Pulmonary nodules and Pleural Disease, and would be suited to a Respiratory trainee as out-of-programme experience towards the end of specialist training or as post-CCT experience. The post is based in the Oxford Centre for Respiratory Medicine, at the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The post holder will be one of two Clinical Fellow posts that provide support for the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) in the care and diagnosis of patients with Lung Cancer and management of pulmonary nodules. The post holder will also support the administrative responsibilities associated with regional and mandatory national cancer databases and delivery of the cancer waiting time targets. In addition to this clinical experience, the postholder will have the opportunity to participate in departmental education meetings and teaching within the Oxford Centre of Respiratory Medicine and to be involved in research projects relevant to lung cancer or pulmonary nodules.

At OUH we have recently established a Respiratory Early Diagnostic Service (REDS) comprising of 2 nurse specialists & an administrative pathway navigator alongside the lung cancer consultants and fellows. This exciting initiative provides us the potential to exceed the National Optimal Lung Cancer pathway. The successful applicant will be an integral part of this team working to put the patient at the centre of this rapid diagnostic pathway

Principle Activities

The post holder’s principal duties are based in Respiratory Medicine at the John Radcliffe hospital where the interventional and diagnostic lists occur, outpatient clinics which are currently located on the Churchill Hospital site and the inpatient ward is based at the John Radcliffe. It is a condition of the appointment that the postholder will be willing to work in any of the Trust’s locations. The post holder will be part of daytime and night-time respiratory on call provision. The rota operates on a 1 in 8 with residential day time cover until 9.00pm or 10.00pm and then on-call overnight. There will be an infrequent commitment to the hospital at night ward cover rota (approximately 2 weeks in 12 months)

Teaching/Research
