The respiratory department is led by a group of Respiratory Consultants and delivers secondary and tertiary care. Our team of experienced respiratory ACPs provide cover to the Respiratory Assessment Unit and Respiratory Same Day Emergency Care Unit. The SDEC Unit was set up and is primarily staffed by ACPs providing rapid assessment of patients alongside an experienced nursing team. We also offer an inreach service to ED to provide autonomous early intervention to patients who present at the QMC campus. Our goal is to provide the best possible care in this busy and thriving department. The practitioner can expect to encounter conditions ranging from common acute respiratory presentations such as such as asthma and COPD, respiratory infections, and complications of lung cancer; to more complex conditions.

We have an agreed set of capabilities in practice governed by the Senior Advanced Practice team and the Lead Respiratory Consultant for Advanced Practice. The successful candidate will need to demonstrate that they have a comparable set of capabilities through a review of a contemporary and detailed portfolio.
