About the Dermatology Service
The Dermatology service has evolved to provide 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 run in children’s outpatients in a purpose‑built modern unit and we have excellent working relationships with Paediatric colleagues including Paediatric phlebotomy on site.
Dermatology surgery takes place in a dedicated, fully equipped and staffed minor operation room. All current consultants perform ward referrals as required. This is a multi‑disciplinary team with consultants, senior nursing roles and cancer nurse specialists, all with dedicated and well‑established clinics. The trust has a well‑established Local Skin MDT led by the dermatology department with active involvement of the maxillofacial team. The consultants run a monthly complex case clinical meeting outpatient session for discussion of more difficult cases. There is a monthly departmental meeting where business includes service development, clinical governance and audit and to which the appointee will be expected to contribute. The post holder will participate in the day‑to‑day running of the dermatology service and will also have opportunities to participate in its management.
