Job summary

An exciting opportunity to work within a busy, friendly and dynamic dermatology department based over two hospital sites, Royal Blackburn Hospital and Burnley General Hospital has become available.

We are also fortunate to have a large number of highly skilled nurses and a clinical Pharmacist. At this time, there is 1 advanced clinical practitioner in the department and we are hoping to expand this workforce and recruit a nurse consultant as well. The advanced clinical practitioner undertakes skin cancer and operates independent clinics, e.g 2ww and skin cancer surveillance clinics.

Additionally, the department is very resourceful and our department sister and other senior nurses are trained and work as non-medical prescribers and some of them also have regular surgical lists in the department.

The department is proud to continue to offer outpatient intensive topical treatments in a dedicated Dermatology Treatment Room and this initiative has continued to reduce the number of hospital admissions required for patients with significant and very burdensome skin disease. The department also offers other nurse led activities including eczema education clinics, phototherapy assessment clinics and subsequent phototherapy as well as patch testing.

Main duties of the job

The Dermatology service at ELHT is progressive and forward thinking and this post presents an exciting opportunity to join a cohesive team of enthusiastic Dermatology professionals who are supported by high quality colleagues in the wider multi-disciplinary team.

East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust is an integrated care organisation formed by the merger of hospital and community services in East Lancashire.

We currently provide high quality services and treat over 700,000 patients a year from the most serious of emergencies to planned operations and procedures. We employ over 9,000 staff, many of whom are internationally renowned and have won awards for their work and achievements.

A satisfactory medical examination is a condition of employment for Medical and Dental staff in the NHS.

Candidates are requested to note that any person recommended for appointment in connection with this post will be referred to the DBS (Disclosure & Barring System) for their clearance.

We are a highly motivated and cohesive team dedicated to providing an excellent service for our patients. The programme of support for each individual doctor will be flexible depending on his/her particular needs and experience.

We have a strong emphasis on training and have a strong commitment to support, mentorship and development of all of our staff and have regular multidisciplinary meetings.

Job summary
