Job summary
We are pleased to advertise a full-time post at ST3+ level in Respiratory Medicine at the North Middlesex University Hospital site of the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust. The post will be a six-month fixed term position available from October 2025 to April 2026. The focus of this job will be to support the in-patient and outpatient care of respiratory patients as part of a team of respiratory speciality trainees.
Main duties of the job
This post is suitable for a trainee with IMT experience who wishes to gain more experience in respiratory medicine and would provide excellent preparation for a candidate considering an application for respiratory medicine specialty training.

There will be an opportunity to undertake educational, academic or quality improvement projects whilst in post.
