The successful candidates will develop special interests to extend the spectrum of the respiratory services offered at both sites, and support services currently being developed in the department. The post holders will undertake general respiratory clinics as well as a specialist interest clinic and support the bronchoscopy. There will be inpatient responsibility for the respiratory wards on a 1:4 rotational basis. The posts include a commitment to the Weston on-call rota out of hours. The posts are advertised as a 10 PA posts, but candidates wishing to be considered for a position with additional or fewer sessions are welcome to apply.
