Guy’s and St Thomas’ is among the UK’s busiest and most successful NHS foundation trusts. We provide a full range of hospital and community services for people in south London and as well as specialist care for patients from further afield including cancer, renal, orthopaedic, respiratory and cardiovascular services.
Guy’s is home to the largest dental school in Europe and a £160 million Cancer Centre opened in 2016. As part of our commitment to provide care closer to home, in 2017 we also opened a cancer centre and a kidney treatment centre at Queen Mary’s Hospital in Sidcup. St Thomas’ has one of the largest critical care units in the UK and one of the busiest emergency departments in London. It is also home to Evelina London Children’s Hospital.
Evelina London cares for local children in Lambeth and Southwark and provides specialist services across south east England including cardiac, renal and critical care services. We lead a number of specialist service networks aiming to ensure children are treated locally where possible, but have access to specialist expertise when they need it. Our community services include health visiting, school nursing and support for families of children with long-term conditions.
Our adult community services teams deliver care at the heart of the local communities we serve, working in partnership with GPs, local authorities and other healthcare and voluntary sector organisations. Working with our partners in Lambeth and Southwark, we are focusing on new ways of working to improve care for local patients.
In February 2021 the Royal Brompton and Harefield joined Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, bringing together world-leading expertise in the care and research of heart and lung disease. Our merger provides a once in a generation opportunity to build a lasting, world-renowned heart and lung centre, providing the highest quality care for patients and conducting world-leading research.
We have a reputation for clinical excellence and high quality teaching and research. We are part of King’s Health Partners, one of eight accredited UK academic health sciences centres. In partnership with King’s College London we have dedicated clinical research facilities including an MHRA accredited Phase I clinical trials unit.
Patients are at the heart of everything we do and we pride ourselves on ensuring the best possible patient experience as well as safe, high quality care. We are proud to have one of the lowest mortality rates in the NHS. Following a comprehensive Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection in 2019 we maintained our overall rating of ‘good’. Our adult community services achieved a rating of ‘outstanding’.
The commitment of our 23,500 staff is key to our success. We are one of the largest local employers and we aim to develop and support all our staff so they are able to deliver high quality, safe and efficient care. The 2019 NHS staff survey results show that we have one of the most engaged and motivated workforces in the NHS. We know this has a positive impact on the care provided to our patients.
We have one of the most ambitious capital investment programmes anywhere in the NHS.
Trosolwg o'r swydd
Guy’s and St Thomas’s NHS Foundation trust merged with the Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation trust to form a combined trust covering specialist cardio-respiratory care. As a consequence, the trust includes 2 of the largest home ventilation services in Europe and are seeking a senior clinical fellow to work across sites to gain experience of specialist management of chronic respiratory failure. The post will be split between the Lane Fox service (based at St Thomas’s Hospital and satellite Remeo unit at Redhill) and the Royal Brompton sleep and ventilation service (based at Sydney Street and Fulham road sites).
The Lane Fox Respiratory Service is currently involved in many exciting initiatives, including the establishment in 2014 of the Lane Fox Remeo centre, a 20-bed unit that complements the 14-bed Lane Fox Unit at St Thomas’ Hospital. The team is keen to appoint an individual with appropriate respiratory and critical care skills to support the in-patient and out-patient management of weaning and chronic respiratory failure. The service is at the forefront of clinical and academic excellence and will expect the appointed individual to work within the existing academic structure to deliver clinically relevant research

The Lane Fox Respiratory Service offers a wide range of services to patients with chronic respiratory conditions. The post-holder will undertake in-patient cover at both the Lane Fox Unit at St Thomas’s Hospital and the Lane Fox Remeo unit supporting patients weaning from invasive ventilation. Out-patient work will include home NIV setup clinic and outreach and community reviews. The successful applicant will be expected to take an active role in education and research within the Lane Fox Respiratory Service. This is an excellent opportunity to join a first class team in an active and progressive central London teaching hospital environment.
The Lung failure Care Group at Royal Brompton Hospital manages approximately 6000 patients on CPAP and 2000 on home mechanical ventilation and has an outreach team of 4 AHP, lead by a nurse consultant, who supervise the most dependent patients in their own homes. Clinical duties within the care group include inpatient care of patients with end stage lung disease, face to face and video review of these patients and review and management of patients undergoing both home sleep studies and more complex sleep investigations including non-respiratory sleep disorder.
