Job description

We are looking for an experienced Dermatologist to join our friendly team who is keen to attain CESR whilst fulfilling our Locum Consultant post on a 24-month fixed term contract. The service and the trust will support completion of your CESR portfolio, and application for a substantive Consultant role in the future.

We are looking for wide NHS experience, particularly within the field of Skin Cancer.

This post offers an opportunity for continued practice and experience in a wide range of dermatology conditions, including clinics for Suspected Cancer, Systemic Diseases, Routine Conditions, Lesions, Paediatrics and Skin Surgery. Other clinical workload includes inpatient referrals and reviews, providing advice and guidance to primary care and administrative virtual clinics. Attendance at Local MDT and Joint Plastics clinic is included in the job plan together with support for RSM education sessions on the 3rd Thursday of the month.

Main duties of the job

The Department sees the full range of Dermatology conditions with Fast-track Cancer clinics, Triaged Photography clinics, general skin conditions, systemic diseases, and paediatric dermatology. There is also a monthly joint clinic with the plastic surgeons.

The department holds a weekly local skin cancer MDT and a bimonthly specialist MDT with colleagues in Oxford. In addition to the practical clinical workload, the post holder will be encouraged to develop local research and audit plans.

The Department is supported by a team of Dermatology Specialist Nurses, Skin Cancer Specialist Nurses and a nurse led phototherapy service (UVA, UVB & PDT), patch testing and full radiology facilities including CT and MRI.

The Dermatology service holds busy outpatient clinics from a dedicated dermatology area of the Wren unit on the third floor of the hospital, matching high outpatient demand to activity. We work collaboratively with Plastic Surgery colleagues within the hospital, who are employed by Oxford University Hospital, our Tertiary centre for referrals and opinions.
