We are excited to offer an opportunity for a consultant for dermatology to join a developing service within the Surgical Division at Worcestershire Acute Trust.

The Trust recognises that dermatology needed developments due to historic challenges which led to an overhaul of the current service provision.

The clinical and operational team have worked collaboratively to develop a new workforce model. We are utilising MDT approach to facilitate GIRFT recommendations for best practice within our service.

We have expanded the nursing team and extended the skill set to support the patient journey and incorporate a safe and robust pathway including patient trackers, virtual clinics and nurse led surveillance clinics. This has enabled us to improve patient safety and quality.

We are transforming the service to develop specialist areas of practice including teledermatology, paediatric derm, acute general dermatology. We are re-opening pathways including phototherapy and secondary care dermatology whilst working closely with OMFS surgeons to support complex cutaneous skin surgery.

We are looking for a motivated individual to lead the team and nurse consultant and work alongside existing in sourcing service provider to drive forward change and improve skin services for the population of Worcestershire.
