Dermatologist Specialist

This is a highly rewarding opportunity to lead the GP with Extended Role (formerly GPwSI) Community Dermatology Service supported by a consultant for the people registered with East Kent.

The service aims to provide an innovative, high quality, consultant-supported dermatology service to patients in line with the 5 year forward view. The overarching aim of the service is to deliver an accessible, efficient service managing the majority of diagnostics and outpatient activity within primary care settings.

1. Provide assessment, investigation and treatment of patients suffering with skin disease, including a full diagnostic service including phlebotomy, biopsy and swab taking and reporting of results.
2. Offer a high quality, accessible, multi-disciplinary based service with consultant oversight which delivers excellent outcomes meeting the needs of patients in line with NICE guidance and best practice.
3. Operate a one-stop-shop as far as possible, where patients are assessed and receive treatment in the same appointment by a GPwER or a joint appointment with a GPwER and a consultant.
