Job responsibilities
What you will bring to the role
A DTS clinic involves telephoning a patient to explain the plan for surgery for a potential skin cancer. The surgical plan is pre-decided by a Consultant Dermatologist prior to the clinic. The telephone call would entail taking a short history of the potential skin cancer and some other important health questions. This information would then be recorded onto the patient’s health record. A surgical booking form would then be completed for the patient.
A Portasana clinic involves extrapolating specific patient information from a personal health record app and completing a surgical booking form for a patient with a suspected skin cancer.
In addition to the above, the roles would include supporting the Skin Cancer CNS and NP teams with administration duties and the coordination of patient care.
