Consultant Dermatologist

The closing date is 25 March 2026

This is a unique opportunity to work within Dermatology based in the Treatment Centre at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.

This post will compliment an existing team of consultants. The job plan will involve 9.15 programmed activities (PA's) for a part time Consultant Dermatologist. As a patient‑centred, clinically led department we expect our clinical teams to participate in care‑pathway development, research, audit and teaching.

The Dermatology department consists of 9 substantive consultants, 1 Clinical Fellow, 2 Nurse Consultants, Specialty/Junior Doctors, Advanced Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Nurse Specialists, staff nurses and HCA's trained in Dermatology. It also has trainees rotating through, some who are also based at the Treatment Centre.

We are looking for a dedicated, patient focused Consultant Dermatologist who is committed to providing the highest standards of care for our patients. You will work closely with all members of the medical team including contributing to the development of a highly skilled workforce and being an active member of the local and regional Dermatology MDT.

If you are enthusiastic, able to work in a very demanding, yet rewarding environment within a friendly, supportive team, then we are what you are looking for.

The successful candidate will be expected to fulfil the following duties with the agreed Job Plan:

• Provision with Consultant colleagues of a comprehensive elective and emergency service.
• Clinic and theatre numbers would be in keeping with the British Association of Dermatologist's guidelines.
• Provision of reciprocal cover for periods of leave.
• Continuing responsibility for the care of patients in his/her charge and the proper functioning of the department.

The successful consultant will be expected to comply with all relevant policies relating to administration of patient care. This includes working to set timescales for the triage of referrals, following the specified process for the management of patients that do not attend (DNA) their appointment or admission and the completion of all paperwork deemed necessary to support the management of their patients within agreed timescales.

Consultants are also expected to work with other partners, clinical service managers, nurses and consultant colleagues to manage their caseload in a flexible way, to ensure clinical, national and local priorities, such as maximum waiting times for referral to treatment are achieved.

These duties are subject to review from time to time in the light of the changing requirements of the service. If alterations to the described duties are required these will be mutually agreed between the appointee, his/her Consultant colleagues, and the Trust.
