The commitment of our 17,100 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 2018 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.

The Sleep Disorders Centre (SDC) is one of the largest centres of adult sleep medicine in Europe. With consultants in respiratory medicine, neurology, neurophysiology, psychiatry, neuropsychiatry, and clinical psychology. Its caseload is extremely broad, covering all aspects of sleep medicine.

The SDC sees approximately 18,000 patients a year, and receives approximately 5000 new referrals per year. These include patients with sleep-disordered breathing, parasomnias, narcolepsy and other central hypersomnias, sleep-related movement disorders, nocturnal epilepsy, and sleep disorders associated with neurological and psychiatric conditions. In addition to the consultant staff, the serviced is supported by two clinical fellows and a highly experienced team of 25 sleep technologists.

The SDC has close links with the departments of respiratory medicine, neurology and the Lane Fox Unit, a national centre of expertise for ventilatory support.

The SDC is seeking a clinical fellow to replace an existing post, to support the clinical service, and to undertake research and audit, and to provide ongoing training in all aspects of sleep medicine. The post would suit candidates with a background in respiratory medicine, neurology, cardiology or psychiatry.
