Summary
The Consultant appointments to these posts will deliver daily sessions of care to respiratory inpatients on the respiratory wards in conjunction with 1 specialist weekly outpatient clinic and either 1 weekly general chest clinic or in-reach service for a selected acute respiratory admission ward round, as well as bronchoscopy and EBUS services. The entire Consultant Respiratory team has moved to this model of care, with separate inpatient/outpatient periods on a rotating basis. This innovation has promoted ambulatory care for patients with respiratory disease, improved the quality of inpatient care, reduced length of stay, and forged more cohesive day to day working relationships between the AMU staff and respiratory teams. In the evolving Respiratory department model of care 13 full time Respiratory Consultants are available Monday-Friday to provide inpatient and outpatient care, with all Consultants being available for the weekend commitment. The Consultants appointed to these posts will help to supervise and work alongside 2 respiratory ST4+ trainees, 2 specialty doctors and 3 senior clinical fellows. This is complemented by larger team of 10 foundation year trainees, 4 internal medicine trainees (IMT1 & IMT2)/GP trainees, and 5 IMT3 level trainees. The medical team is also supported by 4 equivalent full time lung cancer nurses and a lung cancer support worker as well as 4 equivalent full time general respiratory specialist nurses.
