NHS Locum Consultant Dermatologist Skin Cancer & Surgery

An exciting opportunity has arisen and applications are invited for the post of a fifth whole time NHS Locum Consultant Dermatologist to work in the Dermatology department based at Kettering General Hospital.

The dermatology service currently comprises 2 Consultant Dermatologists (one a dual qualified Plastic surgeon, 1 locum consultants completing CSR application,1 specialty doctor, 4 dermatology nurse specialists, an advanced surgical nurse practitioner and 2 skin cancer nurse specialists. There is full general nursing and admin support.

We have a dedicated outpatient area within a large medical centre which has facilities for phototherapy, patch testing and dressings. There are 2 well equipped operating rooms which support a strong surgical interest in the department. We treat the majority of all the patients seen with skin cancer within the department. Most of the remaining cases are treated by colleagues within plastic surgery and Maxillofacial surgery. There is a small GPwSI led community service and as the Trust develops the collaborative workstream through Northamptonshire this role would be expected to support the community work and be prepared to work more within the community as demand requires. We are looking for a dynamic colleague to enhance our services and would favour someone with a special interest to complement those of the current service.
