Applications are invited for an innovative post of Clinical Fellow in Dermatopathology within the Histopathology Department at Dorset County Hospital Foundation Trust in Dorchester. The post will be complemented by separate additional sessions at the nearby private laboratory Poundbury Cancer Institute. The latter will require a separate employment contract, but will not require a separate interview/application.

The post is aimed at doctors who have either completed, or within 6 months of completion of training, from either Dermatology or General Histopathology. It will enable the successful candidate to develop Dermatopathology as a subspecialist interest, and work towards the Royal College of Pathologists Diploma in Dermatopathology.
This is an excellent opportunity to work in a department with an efficient and high-quality laboratory, supportive colleagues, continually striving for excellence and improvement in the service. The Histopathology Department enjoys a good reputation both within the hospital and further afield, for providing an efficient and high-quality pathology service.

The dermatopathologist receives regular referrals for second opinions from other hospitals in the region and further afield. There is an extensive skin pathology slide archive as an aid to teaching and education. There is an opportunity for clinical exposure to Dermatology if required.



This is a training post within the Department of Histopathology at Dorset County Hospital, fully supervised by Dr Taibjee. The post is for an individual with fullGMCregistration, aimed at a Consultant Dermatologist or Histopathologist (or with equivalent overseas training), or within 6 months of CCT, and who wishes to develop aspecialist interest in Dermatopathology, with intention to train towards the Royal College of Pathologists Diploma in Dermatopathology.



The Clinical Fellow post relating to work at DCH will be a 5PA contract.

The appointee will support Dr Taibjee and the other consultant colleagues, in providing the Skin Histopathologyservice. This will primarily involve previewing cases and drafting skin histology reports, and sitting with Dr Taibjee or another consultant to finalise and authorize reports. There will be exposure to more complex case material including cases sent to Dr Taibjee for second opinions. The appointee may be required to assist and advise biomedical scientists in macroscopic dissection of skin specimens, and to order appropriate ancillary tests such as immunohistochemistry and molecular tests where appropriate.



The appointee will be expected to participate in clinical audit.
