Consultant Dermatologist

Go back Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Consultant Dermatologist

The closing date is 09 April 2026

The post-holder will join a team of three consultants and eight associate specialists who provide a comprehensive dermatology service to the area of mid and North Hampshire. This is closely supported by a specialist nurse team who carry out a full range of treatments such as surgery, phototherapy, PDT, patch testing, day treatments and support the medical team with counselling and management of melanoma and other cancer patients.

We are ideally seeking a candidate with MOPS/ Cancer experience

Job Plan

The provisional timetable will be a 10 PA contract, involving a mixture of minor operations, outpatient work as well as SPA, admin time and non-face-to-face direct clinical contact time. This timetable will be discussed and agreed upon successful appointment. This timetable would also depend on your subspecialist interest. Given the variable nature of clinical work, it is accepted that some activities may over and under run. If, however, an activity regularly over or under runs, then it may be appropriate to review this job plan and/or the support provided.

All Consultants are expected to undergo annual Appraisal and review of their Job Plans and Professional standards.

We are happy to accept applications for part time and full time roles
