We offer a community-based skin surgery and dermatology service, commissioned by both NHS Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care Board and NHS Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board. We also support NHS skin surgery patients referred from the Great Western Hospital in Swindon, North Bristol NHS Trust, Gloucester Royal Hospital and the Royal United Hospital in Bath. This covers day case surgical procedures, outpatient procedures and routine assessment clinics.

Housing two fully functioning day case operating theatres and five clinic rooms suitable for outpatient and minor operative procedures, we offer a skin cancer diagnostic and treatment service, whilst also expanding our range of services and treatments to meet the growing needs of our patients locally. Currently these include not only dermatological services and dermatology outpatient procedures but aesthetic skin care too.

As part of this role, you will be required to assist with annual excision margin/quality assurance audits.
