The Integrated Respiratory Service is a specialist multidisciplinary Respiratory, Pulmonary Rehabilitation, and Home Oxygen service operating as part of Bromley’s Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs), in line with the NHS 10 Year Health Plan’s shift to neighbourhood health. The service ensures respiratory expertise is embedded within neighbourhood-based multidisciplinary working, contributing to the wider Community Health Locality Team and INT model of integrated, joined-up care and supporting proactive, person-centred care for people with COPD and other respiratory conditions.
Advert
- Contribute clinical expertise across the Integrated Neighbourhood Team, to support shared care planning for complex and frail patients with multiple long-term conditions, including respiratory comorbidities

- Mentor and upskill generalist Integrated Neighbourhood Team colleagues, including community nurses and care coordinators, in respiratory red flags.
- Develop and manage the Home Oxygen Assessment and Review Service (HOS-AR), ensuring home oxygen is appropriately assessed, provided, reviewed and, where clinically appropriate, withdrawn – covering identification and referral, long-term and ambulatory oxygen assessment, follow-up home visits and clinic appointments, and withdrawal of therapy.
- Lead on delivery, management and continuing development of nurse/AHP-led specialist respiratory clinics and the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Programme, to promote optimal self-care, education and training for patients with COPD and other respiratory conditions.
- Maintain own clinical skills in respiratory assessment, including capillary blood gas testing and interpretation, nebuliser trials and oxygen review, to maximise optimal therapy and avoid unnecessary onward referral to hospital.
