The Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust are recruiting for a Locum Consultant in Dermatology on a 24 month fixed term contract.
This post offers an opportunity for continued practice across a wide range of dermatology conditions, including clinics for systemic diseases, routine and cancerous 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.
The Department sees the full range of dermatology conditions, with clinics in general skin conditions, systemic diseases (psoriasis etc.), pigmented lesion and fast track cancer clinics, and paediatric dermatology. There is also a monthly joint clinic with 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.
