Consultants in Dermatology

Overview

We are seeking to recruit enthusiastic, innovative and progressive Consultant Dermatologists to join our Dermatology Team in our large teaching Trust.

The new post holders will join a department of 3 Consultant Dermatologists, 2 Consultant Surgical colleagues, and a dedicated nursing and administration team based at the Birmingham Skin Centre, City Health Campus. The successful candidates will join a well-established self-contained department with an outpatient area, skin theatre and minor procedures area, phototherapy suite, Cutaneous Allergy Unit and a regional Laser unit.

Specialist services available in the department include dermatological surgery, tertiary cutaneous allergy, laser therapy, paediatric dermatology, skin cancer, and a biologics service.

The new appointees are expected to have a broad-based dermatology background. The jobs are flexible, and have been structured to provide surgical sessions which may be inclusive of Laser surgery for those with expertise in this area. Additionally the job provides general dermatology, paediatric dermatology, skin cancer and other clinics according to sub-specialty areas of interest.

The appointee will take equal responsibility with existing Consultants for the proper functioning of the clinical service, working with clinical and managerial colleagues towards achieving and maintaining national targets. The new appointees are expected to have or will develop a subspecialty interest to complement the department and it is anticipated that the successful applicants will also have a well-developed interest in teaching, training and research.

The on-call availability supplement is currently Category B and currently classed as low frequency with an on-call availability supplement of 1% currently payable. The successful applicants would also be expected to participate in the cross site regional out of hours on-call rota for dermatology.

Applicants must be included on the GMC s Specialist Register in Dermatology, or within 6 months of their expected date of receipt of CCT, at the time of interview.
