This is an excellent opportunity to join us and become part of the North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust. You will have the chance to develop your skills and confidence under the guidance of an inspiring team.

You will provide outpatient clinic and procedure lists across the hospital sites for inflammatory skin disease and skin cancer patients in the adult and paediatric population, actively participating in the skin cancer multidisciplinary team, with regular attendance at the alternate week MDT meetings.
