    Exceptional People – Excelling in Care Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust Job Profile Resident Medical Officer in Private Patients Royal Brompton Hospital Page Description of the Trust 2 – 8 Job Description 9 - 13 Person Specification 14 Appendix 15-16 1 Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust A System of Care Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust is an internationally renowned centre for heart and lung services. Our brand identity is strong and clear: delivering the best clinical care and the best research for patients with heart and lung disease. Heart and Lung diseases are the world’s biggest killers and our experts care for patients who come from across the UK and overseas, not only from our local areas. Our integrated approach to caring for patients from the womb, through childhood, adolescence and into adulthood and old age has been replicated around the world and has gained the Trust an international reputation as a leader in heart and lung diagnosis, treatment, and research. Research programmes play a vital role at both our hospitals. This is because the most talented medical experts are rarely content with using tried and tested methods to treat their patients. The opportunity to influence the course of modern medicine by developing new treatments is a prospect that attracts them to specialist centres, where research opportunities are a fundamental part of delivering patient care. As well as travelling internationally to lecture and share their knowledge, our clinicians hold prominent positions on influential boards, committees, institutions and professional associations. Our closest academic partners are the National Heart and Lung Institute in the Faculty of Medicine Imperial College London and, the Harefield Heart Science Centre.

  • FELIX the NEWSPAPER of IMPERIAL COLLEGE UNION Friday 16Th May 1980 Issue No
    FELIX THE NEWSPAPER OF IMPERIAL COLLEGE UNION Friday 16th May 1980 Issue No. 553 President of ICWA shocks AGM A new President was ratified at last Tuesday's ICWA AGM. Sandra O'Sullivan was the only candidate for the post of President and so won the election. However, in a speech to the meeting she said that in her opinion ICWA has failed. Sandra said that she would not get rid of ICWA but would just make it clear to the girls at IC how little ICWA does for them. Sandra said that she would not sit on any committees and this could lead to an attempt by other members of ICWA to remove her from the position. This year's President said, "It's just a bit rediculous but all the rest of the committee are very keen - we will continue anyway. It doesn't matter about the President." " Last years ICU President, Mary Attenborough, joked that she might as well stand for Chairman of the Conservative Society. (Mary is known for her political affilations to political groups other than the Conservatives and if she was elected CONSOC chairman she considered that it would be equally rediculous). Roger Stotesbury commented that Sandra The new ICWA President was the only candidate, who stood in the ICWA elections,who actually bothered to come to the meeting. Sandra O'Sullivan "It just shows that ICWA cannot survive if there is no interest," he said. RCS AGM Last Tuesday's RCS Annual General Meeting managed to elect an Assistant Honorary Secretary, Jane Lavers, and ratified the folio wing posts: Ents Chairman— Dave Thompson; Publicity Officer — Caroline Godin.

    PHILOSOPHICAL TRANSACTIONS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. (B.) FOR THE YEAR MDCCCLXXXVII. VOL. 178. LONDON: PRINTED BY HARRISON AND SONS, ST. MARTIN’S LANE, W C., printers in Ordinary to Her Majesty. MDCCCLXXXVIII. ADVERTISEMENT. The Committee appointed by the Royal Society to direct the publication of the Philosophical Transactions take this opportunity to acquaint the public that it fully appears, as well from the Council-books and Journals of the Society as from repeated declarations which have been made in several former , that the printing of them was always, from time to time, the single act of the respective Secretaries till the Forty-seventh Volume; the Society, as a Body, never interesting themselves any further in their publication than by occasionally recommending the revival of them to some of their Secretaries, when, from the particular circumstances of their affairs, the Transactions had happened for any length of time to be intermitted. And this seems principally to have been done with a view to satisfy the public that their usual meetings were then continued, for the improvement of knowledge and benefit of mankind : the great ends of their first institution by the Boyal Charters, and which they have ever since steadily pursued. But the Society being of late years greatly enlarged, and their communications more numerous, it was thought advisable that a Committee of their members should be appointed to reconsider the papers read before them, and select out of them such as. they should judge most proper for publication in the future Transactions; which was accordingly done upon the 26th of March, 1752.
