Organisation and Service
The Dermatology service provides a full range of secondary care services at Tameside Hospital plus nurse-led primary care clinics. The two consultant dermatologists run adult and paediatric clinics and have minor operation lists. Paediatric clinics operate in children’s outpatients in a purpose-built modern unit with excellent working relationships with Paediatric colleagues, including on-site Paediatric phlebotomy.
Dermatology surgery takes place in a dedicated, fully equipped and staffed minor operation room. All current consultants perform ward referrals as required. The multidisciplinary team includes consultants, senior nursing roles and cancer nurse specialists, with dedicated and well-established clinics. The Local Skin MDT is well established and led by the dermatology department with active involvement of the maxillofacial team. The consultants run a monthly complex case clinical meeting and outpatient session to discuss more difficult cases. There is a monthly departmental meeting covering service development, clinical governance and audit, to which the appointee is expected to contribute. The post holder will participate in the day-to-day running of the dermatology service and will have opportunities to participate in management of the service.
