Job description

Job responsibilities

Dedicated minor operative procedure sessions will form part of the job plan, enabling the post holder to undertake a range of dermatological procedures within their clinical competence. This may include diagnostic biopsies, excisions of skin lesions, curettage, and other minor surgical interventions. The role will support the delivery of efficient patient pathways by providing treatment closer to home and reducing the need for onward referral where appropriate.

The post holder will play an active role in clinical triage processes, reviewing referrals to ensure patients are directed to the most appropriate service and prioritised according to clinical urgency. This will contribute to effective demand management, improved patient flow, and optimal utilisation of available clinic capacity.

Participation in teledermatology and teledermoscopy services will be a key element of the role, supporting innovation in patient care and enabling earlier assessment of suspected skin cancers and other dermatological conditions. The post holder will provide specialist interpretation of clinical and dermoscopic images, facilitating timely diagnosis and reducing unnecessary patient travel across the rural geography of West Wales.

The successful candidate will be expected to contribute fully to multidisciplinary team (MDT) working, including regular attendance at Skin Cancer MDT meetings and collaboration with colleagues. MDT participation is essential to ensuring high-quality clinical decision-making, effective treatment planning, and the delivery of integrated care for patients with complex conditions.

In addition to clinical duties, the post holder will have opportunities to contribute to the ongoing development and transformation of dermatology services. This may include involvement in quality improvement initiatives, service redesign projects, pathway development, audit activity, and implementation of innovative models of care aimed at improving patient experience, clinical outcomes, and service efficiency.

The role will also include a commitment to clinical governance, continuing professional development, teaching, and supervision where appropriate. The post holder will contribute to maintaining high standards of clinical practice and support the development of medical, nursing, and allied health professional colleagues within the service.

Overall, this post provides an excellent opportunity to contribute to a progressive dermatology service that is committed to delivering safe, sustainable, and high-quality care for the population of West Wales.
