Consultant Dermatology

NHS Dumfries & Galloway are looking to recruit a part time Consultant to join the Dermatology Department at Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary.

The successful applicant will join a team which consists of a full time consultant, a part time locum consultant (who previously held the position for a number of years and returned following retirement), a dedicated nursing team (1 Lead Nurse in Dermatology, 1 Specialist Nurse and 2 Staff Nurse) and an administration team based at the Infirmary.

The post allows the opportunity for an individual with vision and leadership qualities to further develop a modern and progressive Dermatology Department which has excellent facilities.

The post holder is expected to have a broad based Dermatology background. It is expected that the post holder will have or will develop a subspecialty interest to complement the department.

The Dermatology Service is based at Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary. We are primarily an Outpatient based specialty. We provide outreach one stop clinics at the Galloway Hospital, Stranraer and at Newton Stewart Health Centre. The post holder will be based at Dumfries and Galloway Infirmary but will be asked to provide dermatology clinics in a community setting or at Galloway Hospital.

The consultant job plan is flexible and open to negotiation on appointment. The job plan will be offered on a 5PA contract (the balance between direct clinical care and supporting professional activities will be discussed and agreed between the Board and the successful applicant).

The following options would be considered for the post;

Off site / virtual Consultant
