Dermatology Consultant

We have a dedicated outpatient area within a large medical centre which has facilities for phototherapy, patch testing and dressings. There are 2 well equipped operating rooms which support a strong surgical interest in the department. We treat the majority of all the patients seen with skin cancer within the department. Most of the remaining cases are treated by colleagues within plastic surgery and Maxillofacial surgery. There is a small GPwSI led community service and as the Trust develops the collaborative workstream through Northamptonshire this role would be expected to support the community work and be prepared to work more within the community as demand requires. We are looking for a dynamic colleague to enhance our services and would favour someone with a special interest to complement those of the current service.

Kettering is a well-served modern expanding town with excellent connections, a 55 minute rail service to London and is surrounded by an active rural countryside with attractive villages.

Applicants must be included on the Specialist Register for Dermatology or be within six months of achieving the Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) at the time of interview for the post

The exact allocation of programmed activities in terms of the time-table and the commitments of the post will be agreed with the Chief Executive of the Trust.

The appointee will have access to office facilities and computer with intra/internet access.
