Job summary

The Department of Dermatology at Homerton University Hospital provides a full range of general and specialist dermatology clinics. The demand for these clinics has increased and the Trust wishes to further expand on the range of specialist clinics available.

Applications are invited from suitably qualified physicians for the substantive post of Consultant in Dermatology.

The post is offered flexibly at 4-10 Programmed Activities (0.4-1.0 WTE). Applicants are explicitly invited to apply for any contractual commitment within this range. The final job plan will be agreed with the successful candidate according to their contracted PAs, clinical interests and service requirements, within the agreed DCC and SPA framework. During normal working hours, the consultant team provides support for acute dermatology and urgent inpatient referrals. There is currently no fixed General Medical on-call commitment; however, the future provision of an out-of-hours/on-call dermatology service is under active discussion and may be implemented as service requirements develop.
