Description

The lung cancer service is one of the largest in the UK and is home to the Yorkshire Lung Screening Trial.

We offer bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound, thoracoscopy and long-term pleural drainage. There is a well-established programme in collaboration with radiology to provide pleural ultrasound certification. The department consists of 3 inpatient wards and a 12 bed respiratory care unit offering non-invasive ventilation.

There is a separate ward for the care of people with cystic fibrosis.

The department has close links with the University of Leeds and supports delivery of a number of aspects of the under-graduate MB ChB course with a number of opportunities to engage within undergraduate teaching.

The post holder will undertake ward duties, supporting in patient care on the Respiratory in-patient bed base. There will be opportunities to expand training in Respiratory specific skills (e.g.

pleural ultrasound, pleural aspiration and bronchoscopy) as well as Respiratory clinics.

It is intended that the duties of the posts will be tailored to the individuals needs, taking into consideration the post holders prior experience, around the service elements of the role.

There will be a commitment to 1:9 full shift LST Respiratory on call rota, fully supported by resident full shift HST Respiratory rota and daily consultant ward rounds.
