Specialty Doctor in Dermatology
University Hospital Monklands
We welcome applications from enthusiastic individuals keen to join our dedicated Dermatology team in NHS Lanarkshire.
There is a broad spectrum of pathology available within our catchment area, with diverse presentations including skin of colour, and paediatrics. Through innovative models of care, we provide a high quality service, utilising phototriage with dermoscopy to maintain urgent waits for skin cancer, with virtual clinics for benign lesions, and direct onward referral to Plastic Surgery for large skin tumours. High quality images are also used for triage of acute referrals with severe dermatoses.
The department has a strong history of research with excellent support available and is linked to the West of Scotland registrar training scheme. Liaison with Glasgow and Forth Valley allows for varied regional and local CME and governance programs.
NHS Lanarkshire is Scotland’s third largest health board and has 3 Acute Hospitals – University Hospital Hairmyres, University Hospital Wishaw and University Hospital Monklands. Dermatology is based at University Hospital Monklands (UHM) with provision of core activity at all three acute hospital sites. Core dermatology services include general and lesion outpatient clinics, skin surgery, phototherapy, day treatment, pharmacist second line/biologics clinics, psoriasis and eczema specialist nurse clinics, skin cancer nurse clinics, and isotretinoin clinics.
