It also has trainees rotating through, some who are also based at the Treatment Centre.

This includes working to set timescales for the triage of referrals, following the specified process for the management of patients that do not attend (DNA) their appointment or admission and the completion of all paperwork deemed necessary to support the management of their patients within agreed timescales. Consultants are also expected to work with other partners, clinical service managers, nurses and consultant colleagues to manage their caseload in a flexible way, to ensure clinical, national and local priorities, such as maximum waiting times for referral to treatment are achieved.

These duties are subject to review from time to time in the light of the changing requirements of the service. If alterations to the described duties are required these will be mutually agreed between the appointee, his/her Consultant colleagues, and the Trust.

Working for our organisation The Dermatology service undertakes consultant led outpatient and diagnostic services, treatments and surgical intervention. There is a dedicated adult outpatient unit. Specialist nurses provide nurse-led chronic disease management, skin cancer, light therapy, photodynamic therapy, biopsy, triamcinolone and holistic needs clinics.

We offer a supportive teamwork structure and an opportunity to further your clinical skills with the opportunity to build specialist services.

There are ten self-contained consultation rooms and a clinic teaching room. There is a supervised phototherapy area with two TLO1, UVB units and one PUVA unit running an out of hour's service in the evenings and early morning. The day treatment unit provides topical therapies and iontophoresis treatments. The leg ulcer assessment area initiates appropriate investigations and patient education and links in with the community leg ulcer clinics. There is a weekly dermatological vulval clinic. Skin cancer clinics are held throughout the week and there is a weekly multidisciplinary skin cancer team meeting.

There are three skin surgery operating theatres, a recovery suite and an adjacent histopathology lab to support Mohs surgery. The more major and extensive dermatological surgery and laser treatments are carried out in this area.

In addition to the current services, we are aiming to develop community based dermatology services that use the latest telemedicine technology and skilled-up GPs, nurses and technicians.
