Applications are invited for the post of Locum Consultant in Respiratory Medicine at Bradford Teaching Hospitals. We are seeking a consultant with drive, commitment, and enthusiasm who will bring a consistent focus to high performance and quality of care, working collaboratively with colleagues and providing clinical leadership to the wider team.

Applications should contain details of GMC registration and CCT (or evidence of eligibility to apply for CCT including CESR applicants) along with names and addresses of three referees (one of which should be your current or most recent employer). If you are currently a substantive consultant, we require one of your referees to be either the Medical Director or Chief Executive. If you are currently a Specialty Registrar, we require one of your referees to be your Training Programme Director.

Main duties of the job

The appointee is expected to have a CCT or equivalent in Respiratory Medicine, or be within 6 months of obtaining this, and will be expected to have a wide range of experience in all aspects of respiratory and general medicine. The appointee will work alongside the existing team to provide comprehensive service provision.

Duties will involve delivery of outpatient clinics and service development. Additionally, the appointee will provide cover for the dedicated ward by delivering ward rounds and providing specialist advice to other areas of Bradford Royal Infirmary.
