Job summary
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Pleural, Lung Cancer and Interventional Bronchoscopy team at OUH. The pleural unit is an internationally renowned unit at the forefront of research, training and delivery. The lung cancer team are similarly forward thinking implementing the nationally recognised REDS cancer pathway at the local CDC. The unit works closely with our Thoracic Surgical colleagues to deliver a wide range on interventional bronchoscopy, including rigid bronchoscopy, stenting, endobronchial valves and navigational bronchoscopy. OUH leads work aligned to deliver novel pathways incorporating AI and nodule follow up, and will be implementing a Lung Health Check Programme.
This new post is to support both the pleural and lung cancer teams, with the skill set of the successful applicant tailored to this. The post will also help deliver care to the North of the county, an area of known health inequality and high stage lung cancer presentations.
Main duties of the job
The post is to support delivery of pulmonary nodules and lung cancer diagnostic care to meet the national optimal lung cancer pathway. It is an exciting time for lung cancer services at OUH. Alongside the expanding and highly successful pleural team, the Respiratory Early Diagnostic Service (REDS) has implemented a rapid diagnostic cancer pathway at the community diagnostic centre (CDC). This has received national recognition. Furthermore, it is expected that a Lung Health Check Programme will imminently be rolled out in Oxfordshire, bringing with it the potential for additional posts.
Our interventional bronchoscopy service works closely with our thoracic surgeons, delivering rigid bronchoscopy endobronchial valve placement, airway stenting, airway debulking (APC, cryoablation) and we routinely use navigational bronchoscopy with radial EBUS in addition to linear EBUS.
The clinical component of the role will provide senior expertise in managing adults with lung cancer, pleural disease and general respiratory out-patients, as well as in-patients and on-call working, with approximately a 3 week ward duty period per annum. It is a condition of the appointment that the post holder will be willing to work in any of the Trust's locations.
There is the potential to add further in patient working at the Horton General Hospital site covering Oak Higher Care Unit.
