The department of Dermatology is a core service within the Integrated Clinical Service Unit of Surgery & Cancer (ICSU). It serves the populations of Haringey, Islington and Camden directly, and receives referrals from across London through the NHS Choose and Book service. It manages approximately 10,000 patient attendances annually.
Main duties of the job Please see the full Job Description and the Person Specification for further details about the job role.
Working for our organisation Whittington Health serves a richly diverse population and works hard to ensure that all our services are fair and equally accessible to everyone. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the way we look after our staff. We aim to employ a workforce which is as representative as possible of this population, so we are open to the value of differences in age, disability, gender, marital status, pregnancy and maternity, race, sexual orientation, and religion or belief. The Trust believes that as a public sector organisation we have an obligation to have recruitment, training, promotion and other formal employment policies and procedures that are sensitive to these differences. We think that by doing so, we are better able to treat our patients as well as being a better place to work.
Detailed job description and main responsibilities The Dermatology department is actively involved in clinical research and regularly participates in international clinical trials. The Surgery & Cancer IC S is keen to extend its research programme into the field of dermatology and will assist in applying for research grants where appropriate. We have a dedicated Research Team in the Trust that assists with clinical trials. It is of particular importance to the hospital that the postholder fosters excellent collaborative working relationships with local GPs, both individually and through the CCG
The postholder should be willing to assist and support the expansion of Teledermatology services. There is therefore the opportunity to include adult/paediatric Teledermatology in the job plan depending on service need. Teledermatology is currently open to routine referrals only, and will eventually become the main routine referral pathway for Dermatology patients in NCL. The paediatric teledermatology service is currently being run as a pilot open to selected local primary care practices.
We offer general Dermatology clinics and a range of specialist clinics including:
b) We work closely with the Histopathology department (based at ULCH). A joint multi-disciplinary team (MDT) meeting and clinical-pathological meeting takes place on the second, fourth and fifth Thursdays of each month and these are attended by the Dermatology team, Histopathologist (UCLH), Radio oncology Team (UCLH), and an MDT co ordinator.
c) The vast majority of skin cancer surgery is managed in house by the department. However, Plastic Surgery and Radiotherapy services are provided by the Royal Free Hospital and UCLH respectively, as required.
