Summary
Royal College Approval
The successful applicant will join a team of dermatologists who work closely with the plastic surgery department to provide a skin cancer service at NBT. We also provide a general dermatology service and have close links with the dermatology department at Bristol Royal Infirmary (BRI).
The dermatology service is a local and regional service primarily covering Bristol and South Gloucestershire populations, but we also provide an SSMDT and accept tertiary referrals for patients with complex skin cancer in the South-West. We also deliver specialist services such as Mohs’ micrographic surgery, Laser, and Vulval dermatology. The post-holder will join a team of 6 Consultant Dermatologists, 1 Specialty Doctor, 2 specialist nurses and 6 resident doctors employed at the trust.
The work of the Dermatology Department includes:
• General Dermatology Clinics
• Skin Cancer Clinics and surgery
• Acute Ward Referrals
• Advice and Guidance referrals (Tele-dermatology) and photo clinics
• Remote and face to face general and suspected cancer dermatology
• MOH's surgery
• Biologic clinic for Eczema
• Complex patient clinic (commissioned by UHBW)
• Nurse-led drug monitoring and inflammatory disease clinics
• Specialist Skin Cancer Multidisciplinary Meetings
• Supervision of a Dermatology trainee/cancer CNS
• Undergraduate teaching
The Dermatology Department is within the Surgical Directorate and managed together with Plastic Surgery to improve skin cancer patient pathways. Currently the Dermatologists see approximately 7,500 new patients and 7,500 follow ups per year. There is a dedicated area of outpatients in the Brunel building at Southmead Hospital that houses both Dermatology, Plastic Surgery, local anaesthetic skin surgery theatres, procedure rooms and a MOHs laboratory.
NBT Dermatology clinics are also run at Cossham Hospital, Kingswood. The post-holder will be based at Southmead Hospital but may be asked to provide a dermatology clinic in a community setting or in another hospital location. The post holder may be asked to work flexibly including the consideration of evening clinics and to be a part of our teledermatology service.
