Are you ready to shape the future of respiratory care? Great Western Hospital is seeking enthusiastic and forward-thinking Locum Respiratory Consultants to join our team as part of an exciting reconfiguration of our respiratory services to join us on a 12 month fixed term contract.

About the Role
We are recruiting to help meet the growing needs of our local population. This expansion is driven by rising demand, advances in respiratory medicine, and our commitment to delivering outstanding patient care. You will play a key role in a new service model focused on reducing inpatient stays, enhancing targeted outpatient capacity, supporting better discharge, and empowering patient self-management.

About You
• GMC-registered with specialist accreditation in Respiratory Medicine (or within 6 months of CCT).
• Committed to high-quality, patient-centred care and continuous improvement.
• Excellent communication, teamwork, and leadership skills.
• Enthusiastic about innovation, teaching, and service development.

Specialist Pathway Development

We actively encourage you to develop subspecialty interests and lead innovative pathways in areas such as:
• Asthma and biologics therapy
• Lung cancer and EBUS
• Interstitial lung disease
• Sleep and domiciliary ventilation
• Community respiratory MDT support

We welcome informal visits and discussions. Contact Dr Robert Allcock (Clinic Lead) at robert.allcock@nhs.net or call 01793 646315 or Sarah Orr Manager for Respiratory and Cardiology sarah.orr4@nhs.net

Key Responsibilities
• Manage inpatients on two respiratory wards, co-leading daily handovers, and ward rounds.
• Develop sub-specialty interests (e.g., biologics for asthma, interstitial lung disease, EBUS, interventional pleural work) in line with departmental needs.
• Deliver respiratory expertise “upstream” via community MDTs and upgraded Advice & Guidance.
• Participate in and help expand our pleural and EBUS clinics and run a daily respiratory hot clinic.
• Take part in the general medical on-call rota, with potential for a respiratory specialty on-call.
• Engage in teaching, clinical audit, continuing medical education, and service development.
• Support and supervise junior colleagues, contribute to clinical governance, and risk management.

What We Offer
• A supportive, collaborative team environment guided by our STAR values: Service, Teamwork, Ambition, and Respect.
• Flexible job plans designed for continuity of care and sustainable work-life balance.
• Opportunities to lead and innovate in service delivery, with protected time for professional activities.
• The chance to develop your own areas of clinical interest and shape the future of respiratory care in Swindon.



Why Swindon? Swindon is a vibrant, well-connected town offering an excellent quality of life.


• Location: Ideally situated between Bristol and Reading, with direct rail links to London and easy access to the Cotswolds and the South West.
• Lifestyle: Choose from modern town living or picturesque Cotswold villages, all within easy reach of the hospital
• Amenities: Swindon boasts excellent schools, shopping, leisure facilities, and green spaces.
• Community: A welcoming, diverse community with a strong sense of local pride and plenty of activities for families and professionals alike.
