We also provide a general dermatology service and have close links with the dermatology department at Bristol Royal Infirmary (BRI). The dermatology service is a local and regional service primarily covering Bristol and South Gloucestershire populations, but we also provide an SSMDT and accept tertiary referrals for patients with complex skin cancer in the South-West.

Participation in departmental audit and research
Supporting Clinical Meetings including: Weekly SSMDT for skin cancer; Complex cases (Combined clinic) meetings
You will develop and contribute to continuing education, professional development, audit and research within the Trust and be expected to integrate into the existing team to provide dermatology services for the local community, which requires working with the consultants and other specialist registrar colleagues.
There will be the opportunity to develop skills in general dermatology and dermatological surgery. The post will be based at Southmead Hospital although the post holder may be required to undertake clinical sessions at other NBT hospitals or sites where we support other clinical providers.
The main responsibility is to provide clinical advice and treatment within the specialty, under the leadership of senior colleagues and at times may require the post holder to collaborate with colleagues from other specialties within the Division and wider Trust.
