Respiratory Medicine
Our Areas:
Respiratory medicine is a multifaceted specialty dealing with long term lung conditions, short term infections, acute life threating respiratory deterioration, advanced respiratory support and end of life care. All of this is dealt with on a daily basis by the respiratory wards at Derriford Hospital.
Why work for us?
Our patient’s experience is at the heart of everything we do and we react to all of our feedback to continuously improve our care delivery to ensure our patients receive the right care in the right environment. We strive to deliver care with efficiency, compassion and love.
