Consultant Dermatologist - Clinical Lead
The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust
The Dermatology department at Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust is seeking a clinical lead - consultant dermatologist on the specialist register to support with delivering, and developing the service across three sites within the Trust (Harlow, Epping and Bishops Stortford).

This role is key to supporting the delivery of the service and compliance with our commissioned function, but also the integration of the service with our community dermatology partners. You will be key and drive the development of your colleagues as they work towards entry on the specialist register.
