Job description

The QEH Respiratory team have a multi‑disciplinary approach and have long worked as a team with Consultants, career‑grade doctors, doctors in training, COPD, Oxygen and Lung Cancer CNS’s, ward‑based and outpatient nurses, and other allied healthcare professionals committed to providing high‑quality patient care. Services are provided on an inpatient and outpatient basis. Respiratory inpatients are cared for on Necton ward which is a 33 bedded General Medicine ward with an interest in Respiratory. The service also has access to acute NIV (Non‑invasive ventilation).

The training opportunities will mirror those given to the Internal Medicine Trainees/Specialist Trainees with support from departmental teaching, ePortfolio, training budget, Quality Improvement Projects (QIP), participation in Outpatient elective activity and allocation of a clinical/educational supervisor to support career development. Advanced Life Support (ALS) can also be organised at the trust but it is desirable to have before starting.

The appointee will contribute to the medical on‑call rota, including leading cardiac arrests and supervising junior doctors.

There’s never been a more exciting time to join TeamQEH. We’re working on a once in a generation opportunity to build a new state‑of‑the‑art hospital to open in 2030 and we are also carrying out on one of the biggest pieces of digital transformation work we’ve ever undertaken.

Our new electronic patient record (EPR) will replace paper‑based patient records from 2026 and will lead to better, safer, joined‑up care at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and beyond.

At The QEH we provide a comprehensive range of specialist, acute, obstetrics and community‑based services to around 331,000 people across west and north Norfolk, North Cambs and South Lincs.

We are an ambitious organisation that upholds our values of kindness, wellness and fairness. We strive for continuous quality improvement, recently demonstrated in our 2024 CQC maternity inspection rating our services as ‘Good’, and we are proud to be a place to learn and grow through recognised learning and apprenticeships.

We recognise and reward our 4,000 staff and volunteers, priding ourselves on a community atmosphere and positive team spirit. We have approx. 530 beds across 33 wards and have newly built education and training facilities, a range of modern award‑winning centres alongside a talented team of people ready to give you a warm welcome. We love working here and think you will too.

Please see the attached Job Description and Person Specification for further details regarding this exciting opportunity.
