The James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (JPUH) is seeking to appoint a Consultant in Dermatology.
The post holder will have responsibility for providing a Dermatology service in conjunction with consultant colleagues. This is a permanent post 1.0 WTE covering 10 PA's based at the James Paget University Hospital covering 5 days per week Monday to Friday. There will be no on-call commitments.
Main duties of the job
The appointee will help the department achieve the skin cancer waiting time targets and the 18 week referral to treatment time targets and other targets as become relevant. The appointee will have opportunity to develop their own special interest and engage in research activities.

The appointee will be expected to attend the department's meetings including the monthly Monday lunchtime departmental and consultant meeting, monthly Clinical Governance meeting, weekly Skin MDT meeting and fortnightly Wednesday afternoon educational joint clinics for complex cases.
