This is a locum post, following the retirement of a consultant colleague, creating a vacancy. The post-holder will contribute to the Sleep and Ventilation and Pleural service, based at The Charing Cross Hospital (CXH) and Hammersmith Hospital at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.

The post-holder will also contribute to the acute medical take at CXH and participate in the respiratory ward consultant rota, which includes the care of patients with acute primary respiratory failure requiring non-invasive ventilation on the recently refurbished Acute Respiratory Unit at CXH.

 This post, therefore, represents an opportunity to deliver excellent care to patients with respiratory disease, including sleep and ventilation and pleural disorders, in a specialist centre, supported by a well-established multi-disciplinary team.  It would be suitable for both a post-CCT candidate looking to develop as a consultant in a supportive team or for a more established consultant looking to move to a larger organisation.
