This post offers an opportunity for continued practice and experience in a wide range of dermatology conditions, including clinics for Suspected Cancer, Systemic Diseases, Routine Conditions, Lesions, Paediatrics and Skin Surgery. Other clinical workload includes inpatient referrals and reviews, providing advice and guidance to primary care and administrative virtual clinics.
