Respiratory Medicine Consultant — Subspecialty & Research

Respiratory Service Overview

The Respiratory service operates across both the Queens Medical Centre (QMC) and City campuses, requiring cross‑site working. Most inpatient beds are at the City campus, with a 20‑bed Respiratory Assessment Unit (RAU) – including four side rooms – led by a strong multidisciplinary team that includes Advanced Clinical Practitioners (ACPs) and junior doctors. On the QMC campus we have a 12‑bed Advanced Respiratory Care Unit (ARCU), and the team also provides in‑reach cover to the Emergency Department and acute medical admissions at QMC.

Applicants must have GMC registration and be eligible to be included on the Specialist Register.

Candidates with limited sub‑specialty experience are welcome – we will support training and mentorship tailored to your needs.

We provide a broad range of subspecialty services, including severe asthma, COPD, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, interstitial lung disease (including LAM), lung cancer, and infections such as TB. The department boasts a strong research reputation and is partnered with the NIHR Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre, offering opportunities to engage in research and education.

We offer a wide range of staff benefits:

• Access to the Staff Wellbeing programme, including a free 24‑hour staff advice and emotional support service, financial advice service, staff physiotherapy service, and staff support networks
• On‑site day nursery
• Amazon parcel collection points
• Secure cycle facilities
